I think his point was that the majority of gnome shifters these days pretty much ARE evil, despite the fact that they have to be neutral. From things I and other imms have seen, I would have to say he isn't too far off. I've been quite disappointed with the roleplay from most gnome shifters I've watched in recent times - very few people play them like the neutral 25-wisdom race that they are.

Remember people, being a wanton mass-murderer *is* evil, even if you kill evils too!
