Intergalactic Summit

If you extend the term out to the Tribe level, doesn't it detract some from the emotional impact of it? I feel a vague sense of kinship to other Kalaakiota employees, but almost no connection to other Civire simply because we share that bloodline. Meanwhile my identification with my kirjuun is strong.

So the answer is that you do have family in slavery. Thank you.

Expecting a tubechild to be sensitive to the issue of missing family is like expecting an amputee to be sensitive to your itchy feet.

Yah-huh. If you think I'm even remotely pro-Sansha then you clearly don't know who I am.

I shouldn't expect a hardball Amarrian to understand the notion that cooperation is compatible with respectful dissent, I suppose. Or, in words of two syllables or less: "I don't have to agree with them in order to work with them, and in any case I'm trying to change their minds."

Whether you accept that or not, anybody who accuses Yakiya Verin Hakatain of being a "Sansha Bedmate" is just making an idiot of themselves in public.

There is no such thing when it concerns cooperation with such monsters. However, if you wish to continue to delusion yourself into thinking that is respectable in any way shape or form, that is again entirely up to you.

"Cooperation with respectful dissent" is reserved for fellow human beings who are not committing flagrant moral violations against their fellow man.

Sansha are neither human nor moral. What you've just done is justify cooperation with the single greatest threat humanity has ever faced. That is simply idiotic.

Edit: That said, you are now openly admitting you intend to turn your current corporation against their erstwhile allies. If that is your intent, then good for you, but it doesn't seem wise to admit it publically.

I find it very amusing that you claim that I misunderstand you, yet you are the one actually misunderstanding me. Reread how I actually phrased my comments. I was intentionally vague, and actually prefaced my comments.

But since you wished to go down the road of insults, you are the one making a fool of yourself. If you pay attention, I intentionally left you room to clarify. However, calmly explaining the difference, rather than going on the offensive, would have been the proper method. You, however, did not choose to do so, thus making a fool of yourself. For shame.

Also, diplomacy, negotiation, etc. These are my weapons of choice (if you actually looked into who I am) except when dealing with Blood Raiders or Sansha. The ONLY time I would even consider using such methods with said groups is in a hostage situation. Why? I believe Mr. Shutaq explained it quite well. If you wish to insult me, actually look into whether or not your insult applies. For it did not, thus my amusement.

You are entitled to your own opinion. I find it rather refreshing that you are against such methods and are actively against it. Good for you!

I, however, would not even allow myself to stay associated for one more day if a corporation I was in chose to make a non-aggression pact with Sansha.

I understand your position, but that does not change the fact that you are still a member of the corporation that has this agreement. What you simply do not understand, which ironically are what you claim that I 'do not understand', that these methods are not to ever be used with Sansha, for they do not work.

For one thing, to the best of my knowledge, your corporation lives in a wormhole. There is absolutely no need for such a pact! Unless, of course, your corporation has allowed them to move into your wormhole, which is an entirely new set of alarming.

It is illogical that your corporation has this treaty and yet, as you put it who nevertheless took on one of Nation's most historically vocal critics and violent opponents. I find it more idiotic that you actually joined them in the first place! If you knew their policy, that was an incredibly unwise move on your part if you wished your position as anti-sansha to remain credible.

I could be wrong. Perhaps you found about said pact after you joined them. That would at least give you a shred of dignity left for you to leave with. But either way, you are guilty by association, as you know now. Your personal views on this matter or whether or not you follow said pact are inconsequential so long as you stay a member. If this were a faction stationed in K-space I could understand the want to negotiate, because possibly that would be required to save lives. But it is not.

If you would like, I could look into finding a suitable replacement for you. I know of some wormhole corporations I could possibly recommend if you are interested in transferring.

But regardless. If you stay a member of your current corporation, anything you say to defend yourself concerning this will be a moot point, and I shall simply continue to laugh at you.

But yes I feel that there is nothing more on the OP that I can say, so I shall simply unsubscribe.

Well, them and quafe Don't forget the threat of quafe!!!! hehe I'm done...

Hauling fertilizer was your choice. You can hardy blame others for avoiding that career path.

Hence why I am employing it in ALXVP, who are indeed fellow human beings and who are indeed not committing flagrant moral violations against our fellow man.

I don't know how you drew the conclusion that I was referring to cooperating with Sansha's Nation or its capsuleer affiliates, given that I have explicitly said that, blue standings or no, should one get within lock range of me, it will be fired upon (provided I can reasonably expect to win).

"Cooperation with respectful dissent" means that I'm perfectly capable of working in ALXVP and thoroughly enjoying their company and respecting them as people without automatically agreeing with, endorsing, or even accepting every aspect of the corporation's philosophy and politics.

Winds and stone, is basic reading comprehension really too much to ask of people who fly megaton starships with their brains?
