No, you are just stating what you believe as fact, it isn't really the same thing.

Do you think I am a cheat?
Or that I have no life?
Or that I am an evil scumbag?

Have you met me?
Have you chatted me over a drink in the pub, as many of the coalition have?

You see, what you are doing is using a broad generalisation to judge all those around you.
Whilst understandable, it is after all human nature, it does nothing to forward your cause.
It just serves to make you look either bitter or delusional, which is unfortunate as I doubt you are actually either.

The greatest strength of the coalition came not from bandwaggoning, but from the unity that brought about.
Their greatest failing was to concentrate on the negative, instead of fostering that newly found unity.

I honestly thought that the coalition had the best chance so far to put up a force significant enough to dethrone BoB.
I looked forward to fighting for our very survival against an equally focused foe.

It seems now, however, that I was wrong.
By ignoring the fundamental power they were building together, and concentrating on futher demonising their enemy, the coalition has let slip their best chance of victory; and that saddens me.

Sure the war isn't over, but what do we have left?
Well, there is still much fighting to be done against some powerful adversaries, but the very plurality of that statement gives us the advantage.

If the coalition can not find unity it will not find victory.

Petty squabbling, either internally or about your foe, will never come to any good.

The coalition can not win because they can not move on.
Their greater good should be their aim, but they always focus on the negative.

Personally, I could care less if the coalition fought on in its current form for another year or two, or if it fell apart tomorrow.
It isn't the challenge it promised to be, and could have been, and that is a shame.
