Intergalactic Summit

Gotta tell you, Binky, I don't much care what you trust me with. However, in that it is your obvious preference to engage in overly complex constructions of verbiage, your foibles and fulminations I'll indulge as my point I make. As a notable departure from the meager efforts engaged in by yourself, however, mine will be grammatically correct.

To say that one like Ayallah was there
to scurry 'bout and serve the Empress' will
is simply put as wrongly overthought
as your florid sentence construction is.

Ayallah may speak many platitudes
of loyalty and paying Amarr's dues
but look ye down at her alliance, friend
and ask to whom the Legion's knee would bend

For lo! All know there's no love lost between
she, and me, you see, we... we don't agree
on many things including if the Queen
is heaven sent, err, Empress, there... you see?

But I'll be blunt in closing (cuz I'm bored)
as lecturer, sir, you cannot afford
so be obtuse, or wrong, or e'en unclear
on why PL and Goonswarm both were here.

(And yes, Mr. Amtiskaw, the rhyming scheme varies intentionally throughout each verse of iambic pentameter.)

Sorry, I'm already in as committed a relationship as someone in my line of work can afford.

Also, Amtiskaw, if in fact the thought has crossed your mind that perhaps, some minor flaw may lurk there in your second offering of which you're unaware, bravo!

'can or will not' construction means 'if you can' OR 'if you will not'. You wanted 'cannot or will not'.

As the noose tightens, so does the condemned thrash against it. The tantrums of the profane are but their animal reflex to the realization of the promise granted by the Lord, and delivered through Her Imperial Majesty.

Those who struggle in vain against the Chosen: that rope around your neck is Truth, it is made of the Faithful, and it belongs to the Almighty. Submit to His Light and stand Reclaimed, or your doom shall be so sealed.

Just to clarify...is that an open offer? I can bring some very good gin if that helps?

Orrrr.... you could try actually drawing attention to those deficits and not immediately attempt to cast aspersions on the motivations and agency of those who are observing events of consequence. Believe it or don't, it's very easy to point out the inequities in society without specifically calling out a member of one of the groups in the Cluster least beholden to any of the Empires.

As for the timing of my responses, I've got some time without paperwork. It's a perk of being a life-long insomniac.

I hate this style of rhetoric: verbosity as a weapon.

My predecessor used it. I've promised myself I never will.

It's a gladiator's approach to discussion: flashy, noisy, possibly pleasing to the crowd (for some crowds), definitely flattering to the combatant's ego. It's also ineffective for actually communicating with most people.

It main effect is to limit how many people you have to defend your ideas against, whether they're good ideas or not. It creates a filter; only people able to navigate a labyrinth of arcane verbiage and complex structure will be able to engage.

The goal of this style isn't actually to teach or discuss ideas; it's to "win."

... whether or not the idea makes any sense, whether or not the position you stake out is worth defending.

Do you write anything with meaning?

The gates to your understanding are manned by stalwarts of your own creation, but only nominally of your control.

In this I do you many favors to make you aware, so that even in the absence of understanding you may perceive what is lacking by its form, and first glimpse into the vale of deeper knowledge.

I try to avoid that. It sounds like actual work.

I do applaud you for standing up to the powers that be, though it resulted in an unfortunate loss of innocent life amongst the freighter crews.

I'm sure you'll grow out of it, then.
