Intergalactic Summit

Indeed, the Empire has many checks and balances to ensure that its laws and traditions are respected.

Traditions such as Godflesh. I'm sure all would agree such laws are sacrosanct, even to one such as the Empress.

It was "her call" whether to fire. She called it. Contradiction established. Weasel around all you want, dear. The more you do, the more times I get to observe that even an alliance of halfwits doesn't add up to a full wit.

I feel silly even explaining this, but my "if it is my call" in the first one I meant simply that if I will be the one making the decisions, I will not start wars. I hope it is obvious that of my own volition, I would not have gone to Colelie (or anywhere else in Federal space) and started firing at Federal Navy.

The Republic Fleet did, however, and at that point it was no longer "my call", but theirs: a call I chose to respond to.

A weaseling distinction without a difference, doll. It was your call, and you made it. In making it, you not only choose not to take up Midular's mantle of "Rise Above, Move Beyond" (tangent: has little "shaman" sweet pea found the spiritual message in that, yet?) but in fact to tear it into shreds. How appropriate, all things considered.

Let's face it: you and your hypocritical band of halfwits just wanted to blow things up. Nothing wrong with that, dear. Happens all the time. You'd have been better off admitting as much from the start. These rationalizations are taking you a bit out of your depth.

I'll say this one last time, though I doubt it'll succeed at getting into that vapid brain of yours...

The call to potentially "start a war" was made by the Republic Fleet, not by Ms Rhiannon. Her statement that she would not make the call to start a war simply does not apply to the events of that day or the decision she did make.


Now, please, stop trying to sound intelligent and just...go back to your boytoys or something.

Oh look, my prediction was right. It didn't get into that vapid little brain of yours.

The only opportunities I'm giving you are opportunities to show you've no idea what you're talking about and just like stringing assorted insults together and pretending they make you look halfway intelligent. I must admit, though, I am impressed with how exhaustive your thesaurus program is.

Frankly, dear, someone needs to take you over their knee and teach you some manners.

Oh look, a little moron whose last response wasn't. Followed immediately by that *other* little moron whose last response never is. You remind me of someone else, though... someone in a more theologically pure organization.

Hmmm.

On annother note, I must say EM has regained my respect.

We all get fracked up orders, but as warriors and soldiers "Ours not to make reply, Ours not to question why, ours but to do and die" The fact no EM balked from these orders, makes me think the Matari have hope yet.,

And before people start flaming, and assuming otherwise I have never disobeyed a Order, I have resigned my commission rather then follow one, but never disobeyed.


As for Illegal orders Mr Blake, Must I bring up some from my time under the Empire? Some of which was relayed by you intact.

The Republic fleet was not equipped for the battle they engaged in.

Why then, did they engage?

That is the 50,000 isk question.

Because they had orders from "the top".

That "the top" is likely an angry, bitter, belligerent and blind old man who has done similar things on a larger scale should be no surprise to anyone.
