#34085, "Semantics."


          

Whine, complaint, explanation, whatever. English isn't my first language anyway. I didn't post to call Ahelun whiner, I posted to show him what I see as more effective way of dealing with Narefs(in this case, a leader who sees that it is his responsibility to intervene in this issue to keep the Fortress intact and stop the bickering between its members) in this kind of a situation. I knew whine wasn't entirely accurrate word to use, but I didn't stop to think about semantics, it was an approximation, which I saw that could be used in this situation(as no bettew word came to mind). I wanted to use a negative word to describe Aheluns actions in order to give emphasis to what I saw as the wrong approach to solve the situation(I could have easily done the same mistake in Aheluns situation, which is why I am pointing out the better option), even though I know that whine is not the word to describe the situation best(However, I couldn't think of a better one to give my advice the emphasis I wanted it to have). It was only a way of highlighting what I saw as mistake.
