Intergalactic Summit

You are being threatened with punishment because you were unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and become associated with a criminal. As I said, your blame should be on Lord Raholan, not CONCORD. He is the cause of your troubles and it is him that needs to think about how his actions affect others.

I do not understand why people choose to condemn the response instead of the cause.



It doesn't matter what they are doing, what matters is that they have legal authority to do it.

You know my opinion of CONCORD, Ms. Bloodstone. While it has many issues, it has to be obeyed so long as it is the lawful authority in these matters.

Perhaps because the response is completely out of proportion to the cause, or because the response was punitive towards those who were blameless or could not materially comply even though they made every effort, or because Korachi is making outlaws of the very people he pinned medals to merely days before for the very same thing.

I may well never have seen such hegemonic nonsense so fecklessly bowed and scraped to.

I apologize for being so angry earlier. I should have been more measured. I'll try that now.

The reason why we are upset with CONCORD and not Lord Raholan, Miss, (though I'll admit I'm irked at him as well), is the distinction between justice and law, and the distinction between honour and appearance.

If you're unable to understand why we're upset at CONCORD, then it's due to a lack of understanding of the differences between these concepts.

I do, and while we agree on many things, I must disagree with belief that we must follow an entity so corrupt, that is actively trying to destroy the very people that risked their lives to uncover information relating to this threat (to bury a piece of brain for Gods sake), all while completely ignoring every single chance they have had to act in the defense of the cluster.

We both know the time, resources and assets that would need to be invested on fixing CONCORD. Sadly it's not a viable option if a war starts, but it is also not viable to follow an organization who does not lift a finger to protect those under it.



Understandable, my words were harsh. My intent was not to say all Faithful that had not been part of the research group lacked logic or thought, merely to say that the indoctrinating culture of the Faithful has a tendency to encourage a linear thought pattern. Comments that say 'I don't care how much you've done to help the cluster, but you weren't at a optional ceremony that was unpredictably attacked by an armada - so your a bad person.' Displays an ignorance that is astounding, and that I have only seen reliably from members of the Faithful...and perhaps one Caldari.

While a great many of the Faithful posses a zombie-like way of thinking I find truly distasteful, there are also a great many who stand as thoughtful, intelligent and measured individuals. I should hope those people know who they are, but perhaps I should be more specific in the future. Anger obviously got the better of me.

It's slavish natures that are unable to see and grasp such differences.

The Imperial Chancellor has criticized the degree of DED's actions, but they have not said that the DED should be refused. What they did was take a politically neutral stance by passing equal blame to both parties and calling the entire thing a mess, which it is.

Meanwhile, the Court Chamberlain is imposing additional punishments.

At no point has any Imperial authority deemed it acceptable to refuse the DED's orders.

Lord Raholan,

Your peers have called you to task. Your colleagues have called you to task.

Whatever your reasons for refusing to cooperate, the honorable course of action is to at least consider how your actions are affecting those whom serve(d) beside you. Far be it from me to presume that you've made no effort to contact them and discuss your course of action, but if you have not, I implore you to do so.

I further implore you to do all that is within your power to seek amnesty for those individuals now affected by your individual resistance.

I do not know or understand your reasoning for this course of action but I do know that others are paying the price for it.

The majority of capsuleers would have pretended they didn't say what they did, or would have only apologized where no others might see and criticize them for it.

Captain Aldrith, I am pleased to see you remain an honorable man, willing to admit when he misspoke.

I, Claudia Amelia Testarossa Wingate Lillithella Osyn MDCXXXIV, Goddess of the IGS, approve of this thread.
