[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 3901708, member: 9037"] The situation is not quite the same you were following military protocol and breaking it by mouthing off to the officer would have got you in trouble which it should have. The cleric was not a member of the guards she had no authority it would mo more like a civilian and military person getting into it. Now calling a civilian a b***** might get you a talking to even disciplined but it is not in the same league as calling an officer a name. A good example of how I see this is you have police officer arresting the wrong person and a witness comes up and says no that is not the guy so the police officer lets the guy go and the witness then starts bad mouthing the cop and calling him stupid. Would you be surprised to see the cop tell the person to shut up and get out of his face and they didn't they ended up with hand cuffs on in the back of the police car. And I agree with you two wrongs don't make a right and the captain would have been better off keeping his cool and having the female cleric removed from the wall. Something along the lines of "Madam that is enough why don't you retire and tend to your commrade" and if she still berates him have one of his guards take her by the arm and remove her. I have found this entire thread interesting because to me this is not a black and white situation it has alot of gray you have a lot of characters losing their cool and going off halfcocked and lots of consquences coming down all over the place. For me some of the best role playing has come from situations where things didn't go as smoothly as hoped for and we didn't behave as good as we should have. [/QUOTE]
