Yup. That's totally me. Totally not just an unrepentant, smug-as-feck pedantic jackwagon, deeply amused with my own cleverness who enjoys the 'sound' of my own literary voice and has absolutely no problem acknowledging my many personality flaws. Couldn't possibly be that. Nope. You must be right. |

Okay, I feel like someone needs to give you the talk that we used to give Marines coming onto shore leave. If you tell me where you are, I'll contact station security and get you a list of all the reputable houses of negotiable affection. You obviously need some relief.

Namas.
Ok, I gave up on finding an apology for, or something wise to be said in defense of, the journalistic faux-pas when I reached post #31, where M. Galente appears to say "Shut up with your valid criticisms, you are not the target audience."
Who is the target audience? Likely not be the Gallente Feds.
The reasons I agree with the criticism likely has a lot to do with the fact that I am a Gallente and a Federal citizen.
Although...maybe the target audience is the Hawks?
Anyway, this news site has crossed the frontier. I think it will be hard restoring a reputation damaged so severely so soon.
...the site's reputation, not Soter's, althought it may be partly true for both.

Not per-se.
I can understand that many of our fellow citizens will not see things the same way. The life in the de-militarized border regions can be hard and unforgiving. Not only do we have to deal with the remnants of Provist terrorism and unrelenting Caldari militants, but also capsuleer outlaws, Amarr slavers and crusaders, incursions by powerful independent capsuleer alliances from null-security space, the Serpentis Corporation and all manner of other criminal elements.
It is a harsh and dangerous life. To many who live in peace within the borders of our nation, it may seem almost inconceivable how the capsuleers of the volunteer militias can be so callous and vindictive, but we are all confronted with death, human tragedies and atrocities on an almost daily basis. This is a heavy burden for any human being, and it changes a person almost as much as the act of becoming a capsuleer itself.
Particularly, many of us have lost their tolerance for political subtleties. The diplomatic finesse of usual interaction on that stage appears empty and vain in the face of conditions we face.
Old Man Star may be just one gate-jump from Villore, but the realities of low-security space could not be further from what goes on in the lobby-chambers and parliamentary foyers of the capital, let alone life in the cities of Luminaire.

Mr. Raimo? Just so you're aware who you're talking to, Che is a sometime wormhole dweller.
And an itty bitty bit of a utopian idealist. The list of pacifist capsuleers I've met is pretty short. Actually, mostly, it's just him.
... Though I guess it's been a little while since I really spoke with him about such things, so, I don't know how well those beliefs weathered living in Origin. |

It is of short sight to reduce my interest for Arrendis as merely physical. The joys that the flesh and a proper state of mind can offer are my study and practice, so worry not, i-¦m quite fulfilled in this regard. In fact, some of your references of "negotiable affection" (at least the excellent ones) probably trained under supervision of my institute.
It-¦s just that her sassines amused me. We were playing a little flirtation game and was fun to get a glimpse of what makes her feel good.
Just as was fun to get a glimpse of what our Amarr fellow does to it-¦s slaves since he won-¦t with his equals.
And just as it is watching what got your interest going. Do tell me more how you sublimate your inner instincts with the righteousness of your efficient training, your prep talks, and the secret inner joy of guiding and watching others perform the very things you do not allow yourself to.
But returning to the topic, i do want more info regarding the Drifters and hope this news site provide it.

That is just the thing. In Anoikis, all we find is mysteries, other capsuleers and those who have volunteered to work as their crews. In the low-security border zones we can find colonists, settlements that were forgotten or written off by the nations which once established them, baseliner fleets and even unsuspecting highsec capsuleers who took the wrong turn.
There are so many more millions of innocents who we see suffering in those lost regions, and that is the burden I am speaking of. |

Well ... that's true. The implication a little bit seemed to be that things look a little different from OMS than from Villore. That distinction's most meaningful if the person you're talking to is viewing the situation from Villore, which, Che kind of isn't.
I guess what I was getting at is that the faint whiff of "we have it hard out here" might be a little misdirected considering what wormholers tend to deal with. Maybe that's not quite what Mr. Raimo meant to say anyway, though. |

With due respect, Mr. Raimo, I've not had that experience. Perhaps it's simply that I've had no direct experience, save the usual public grandstanding. Perhaps what you see as strong conviction I see as blinkered nationalism; and that belligerence, well, you and I surely agree on that.
Insofar as integrity goes, though, I've seen more of that from you. When on day two of the Inquest, ARC decisively supported the Caldari act, you came up to us to ask why, instead of merely taking a stance on preconceived notions. That is the sort of action I can support. Even if we disagree, the quest for understanding, for perspective, whether agreement comes of it, is a noble endeavor.
In Soter's case, I can't fault his unswerving loyalty. I can, however, fault his myopic lack of desire to understand the motivations of those different from him.

Mr. Raimo, you and I are able to speak, and that's greatly appreciated. I remain unconvinced on Soter. Perhaps he and I have different understandings of what is needed to lead.
But let's not carry on overmuch.
I'll clear the thread so that the Federal Frontier may carry on with its work.
