Once again, my words have been misconstrued, and twisted into something
nasty. I am Forced to defend my stance again.

In the beginning I said that I hated this war, because I am pitted
against those I once called my freinds. I myself tried to defend some of
the infernals who were cast out, that remained Nuetral, throughout the
landmarking, while their guildmates were acting against Ashtan.
If I was a biggot, would I do this? I think not. I have yet to see
anyone challenge the issues I have brought forth, or the acts that I
witness, nor the Lies that Mephisto has spoken to you, the citizens of
Ashtan.

I believe that casting out some of the leadership that remained nuetral
a few years back during the landmarking even gave them no other
alternative, the Current Archons having chosen to turn their backs on
them. That was their decision to make, and I stand behind them in it.
But had they not turned their backs, mayhaps one of them would have
challenged the current GM at the time and brought the Infernals back
around and restored them to their former values. But as all the
leadership was cast out, there was not a member with the rank and
accomplishments to challenge their GM at that time.

Again I ask you to look at the issues, and focus upon the acts, the here
and now. Yes, Mephisto has done much for this city and I applaud him,
but there is a matter of deceit, to you, the peoples of Ashtan. My trust
and faith in Mephisto has been severed. No longer will I hear a ring of
truth in his words. Not after being lied to. And neither should you. You
the people of Ashtan deserve better than that.
