We had, in short, lost.""But perhaps you don't agree with our analysis.  That is fair.  You are entitled to your opinion on the matter.  However, the reason you are the most wretched scum we have ever seen is because you do NOT respect the other point of view.  If you can't see how the viewpoint that we had lost by being escorted into a camp of enemies was equally valid to your own, then you are either stupid or lying.  The fact that you disallowed others to make that choice makes you tyrannous.""As to our attacking them right away--that's a nice bit of propaganda, but it isn't true.  We respected the other people in this group, even you.  If we didn't we would have hit them all right away with one spell and ended the fight then and there.  We weren't affected by your puny magic, and we could have.  But we didn't.  We simply asked to be left alone and left, heading away from Duvik.  When we were chased, thus proving they wanted to detain us no matter what, we still didn't attack.  Ironwolf and Hulgyr attacked before we did, as evidenced by the shouting we heard before the battle broke out.  Ask Eternity and Almayce to confirm this.  So you can stuff your lies right back where you have suggested for us to place our truths.""And speaking of evil vicious lies--perhaps the worst thing you have mentioned has come just now.  You would turn in one of your fellows to your enemies and lie to them to curry their favour and save your own skin?  You truly are a blackguard, Michael Grannion."(OOC: I don't remember being barred from Fallon--are you thinking of the crazy knights that weren't Fallon at all?)</blockquote>
