Fwiw, just because Destuvius is an Empire Imm does not mean that I (the person behind Destuvius) am outlawed from making comments against other characters who are not in Empire cabal. The extent of my "policing" of a Battle character was me making note of a behavior and being asked about it by Battle imms. The same thing happens fairly regularly as none of our cabals have a constant 24/7 coverage by someone who is accountable for said cabal.

There are a lot of people who have weighed in on the subject and I think it is pretty safe to say that there is no clear-cut majority as to whether or not the way that the incident was handled on the mud was "right or wrong" in the court of player perception. What has been stated by Battle imms is that the situation was handled like it was supposed to be, so there is not really much point in debating that further.

The whole matter of a player meltdown outside of CF is one that I am fairly confident that no one wants to actually be the cause of. Sadly, there is not a single person who can control the reaction of an IC reprimand other than the player behind the character who received said reprimand. To try and point the finger at us, the staff, for what could have been a culmination of other external variables in life is a bit excessive and in my opinion completely unwarranted. Whether or not you agree with me in that sentiment is your choice, but I stand firmly as a believer that every single person should be accountable for their own reactions to whatever comes their way.

Another thing that I would like to mention is you seem to be super convinced that the *only* person who was impacted during this whole thing was the player of Bhelgus. Yet you have managed to create a tinfoil hat conspiracy against me and against other members of the staff. There is a very distinct ripple effect here and you have never once acknowledged that there is the potential for a negative for the people on the other side of the coin.

I appreciate that you respect our work, and I certainly do not expect you to agree with every decision that we make. We are also quite happy to accept constructive criticisms. I do think that you could use some work on your approach with how you offer input. To be perfectly honest, you just sound like you are attempting to discredit and tarnish the reputation of whatever staff member you feel has slighted whichever person you are trying to white knight for.
