The Offices of the Midgaard Daily News
[Exits: east]
The hustle and bustle of the news agency is apparent as people scurry
about posting stories from around the world. Reports of great adventures,
heroic conquests, and the odd sad demise make up the fodder these folks
seek out to print each day's edition of the news. Over in the corner you
see the classifieds' desk, the place where a mere mortal can try and
place an ad for inclusion in the next edition. The line there is long
causing you to wonder if your ad is important enough to spend the time
and money that it takes to post it.
(Light Blue Aura) Ephiny is here.
(Invis) (Light Blue Aura) Belsambar is here.
(White Aura) The newsboy stands here selling newspapers.
(Invis) (Dark Red Aura) Valo is here.
Drorin is here.
(Dark Red Aura) Rath is resting here.
(Light Blue Aura) Emaleth is resting here.
(White Aura) Greta waits for you to place your advertisement.
Rath says (in common), 'I was talking to Tranquility'.
Cordir arches an eyebrow inquisitively.
Rath says (in common), 'that bird who is attatched to that gnome's hip'.
You say, 'And how fared My Handmaiden when you saw her last?'.
Rath says (in common), 'and we were discussing good,evil,and neutral'.
You say, 'I've not seen her in some days.'.
Rath says (in common), 'she was alright'.
Rath says (in common), 'she had plenty of nice things to say to me'.
Cordir arches an eyebrow inquisitively.
You say, 'Tranquility is bound by an oath that requires her to speak the truth, or not at all.'.
You say, 'Sometimes, her silences speak more than paragraphs.'.
Rath says (in common), 'so you're saying there arent any nice things about me?'.
You say, 'No, I did not say that. You said she spoke nice things of you.'.
Rath says (in common), 'yep'.
You say, 'Therefore, if she said them, they must be true.'.
Rath says (in common), 'she was pretty nice for her'.
You say, 'But what has this to do with Neutrality?'.
Rath says (in common), 'well'.
Rath says (in common), 'I said I didn't like neutrals'.
You say, 'And are we truly discussing Neutrality, or is it really Sentry?'.
Rath says (in common), 'well'.
Rath says (in common), 'rephrase'.
Rath says (in common), 'the idea of neutrality'.
Rath says (in common), 'neutrals I judge individually'.
Rath says (in common), 'we're discussing all of neutrality'.

Rath says (in common), 'perpetually in a battle'.
Rath says (in common), 'then there is Lord Nash,who is above both'.
Rath says (in common), 'for the sake of this conversation'.
Rath says (in common), 'we don't talk about Lord Nash,since I never get anywhere with that'.
Rath says (in common), 'cause all people do is say "I can't see him so he can't be there"'.
Rath says (in common), 'so the world is pretty much good vs evil'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'I think he exists...'.
Rath says (in common), 'and I believe that goods and evils both serve their cause..'.
You say, 'You're speaking to a Nashite.'.

You say, 'In fact...'.
Rath says (in common), 'you are not'.
Rath says (in common), 'you may believe in Lord Nash'.
You say, 'The only thing that prevented me from being "officially Nashite" was my husband'.
Rath says (in common), 'but you have been excommunicated'.
You say, 'He is gone, and our marraige dissolved.'.
You say, 'Thus....'.
You say, 'I am not a Nashite, then, but rather a devotee of Nashism.'.
Rath says (in common), 'maybe'.
Rath says (in common), 'that's a whole nother horse'.
Valo says (in common), 'a religion was betrayed for a marraige... how simpley wrong is that'.
You say, 'Well, no one mentioned it until the ceremony that I'd be excommunicated.'.
Rath says (in common), 'but I was saying goods and evils serve a purpose larger then themselves'.
Emaleth tells you (in common), '*smile* Sorry about bein' a pest btw.'.
You say, 'It was rather of a surprise.'.

You tell Emaleth, 'You're fine, dear, as always.'.
Rath nods in recognition to you.
Rath says (in common), 'sorry'.
Rath shrugs.

You say, 'is the soul more important than the heart? I believe them one and the same, inextricably linked.'.
Rath says (in common), 'alright'.
You say, 'It was surely Nash's will that I love Deamhan and go through the trials associated with excommunication to hone my faith.'.
Rath says (in common), 'so it breaks down to taking one soul over your God'.
Rath says (in common), 'how could it be when his dictates spell otherwise'.
Rath says (in common), 'not to marry outside of the Faith'.
You say, 'His then-pope's words. '.
You say, 'Not Nash's.'.
Rath says (in common), 'which pope'.
Rath says (in common), 'the first or second'.
You say, 'For even Lord Sirak said that marrying Deamhan was no sin.'.
You say, 'Molo.'.
Rath says (in common), 'the second'.
You shrug.
You say, 'But again...'.
You say, 'this is rather off the topic proposed.'.
You say, 'What of Neutrality do you wish to discuss?'.
Rath says (in common), 'another day'.
Rath says (in common), 'well,like I was saying'.
Rath says (in common), 'there is the ever present battle'.
You nod.
Rath says (in common), 'of epic proportions,between good and evil'.
You nod.
You say, 'thus far, we are in agreement.'.
Rath says (in common), 'neutrals are spiritually selfish because they will not serve either side in the fight.They are MATERIALISTICALLY NOT SELFISH for they aid'.
Rath says (in common), 'others'.
Rath says (in common), 'but one could argue they do this for their image'.
Rath says (in common), 'they are fence sitters'.
Rath says (in common), 'who refuse to take a side...which is selfish'.
Rath says (in common), 'they care more about themselves then the greater cause'.
You ponder the question.
You say, 'May I address that point?'.
Rath says (in common), 'let me say one more quick thing'.
Rath says (in common), 'then the floor is yours'.
Rath says (in common), 'there is documentation throughout the world'.

Rath says (in common), 'why can't I'.
You say, 'keep it in game entirely'.
You say, 'or take it out of game entirely'.
You say, 'one or the other'.

Rath says (in common), 'first,go ahead and address the MUD issue'.
Rath says (in common), 'floor's yours'.
Cordir starts to object, but then shrugs philosophically, muttering, what the hell, I've got to be here for three more hours tonight anyway...
Rath pushes the fat old woman Greta out of her seat and drops his sizeable bulk into it,listening to Cordir.
You say, 'I believe that all souls see through the eyes of their own experiences. Yours is tainted with cruelty and tragedy. Thus, you see life that way. '.
You say, 'You see neutrals as 'fence sitters' and are offended by what you see as unwillingness to commit'.
Rath nods in recognition to you.
You say, 'However, others see them as the battle ground itself.'.
You say, 'Without it, the battle could not ensue.'.
You say, 'Both sides are succored by the Neutrals.'.
You say, 'Both are hunted by them.'.
You say, 'Both are befriended by them.'.
You say, 'They are the respite in the greater battle'.
You say, 'As every combat has an ebb and flow.'.
Rath nods in recognition to you.
Rath says (in common), 'yes'.
You say, 'Now..'.
You say, 'addressing OUT of game'.
You say, 'Using myself as an example'.
You say, 'I made the Chosen Neutral because I wanted to abide by the HELP ALIGNMENT code'.
You say, 'Realistically, we're about as Blue as Blue can be'.
You say, 'But... it states that Blues aren't supposed to help Reds'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'out of game, 'Good' hasn't always been good'.
You say, 'and the essential concept of the Chosen was that they help everyone.'.
You say, 'well, that takes you into the murky world of defining good and evil.'.
Belsambar nods.
You say, 'which I am not willing to go into'.
You say, 'becuase it is another intrinsic concept that most simply CANNOT agree upon.'.
You say, 'I'm simply going by TYNIANs definitions'.
You say, 'and that's why I chose Neutral.'.
You say, 'So that our 'mission statement' would be within the rules.'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'I just wish to say that the reason I don't bad mouth Nashism and the Conclave too much, is I see them as simply Christianity'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'during the middle ages'.
You nod.
Volkov smirks at Belsambar's saying.
You say, '"Convert or die"'.

Belsambar says (in common), 'and they fit in switched'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'It's one of the things that drew me to the game...'.
Rath says (in common), 'see'.
Rath says (in common), 'this is bad though'.
Cordir arches an eyebrow inquisitively.
Rath says (in common), 'because you said you're essentially a blue following who won't fight'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'at least here though, I can't be burned at the stake for being an'heretic'.
Rath says (in common), 'that makes you a bunch of cowards'.
Rath says (in common), 'albeit nice cowards'.
Rath frowns.
You say, 'only by the rose colored glasses you wear.'.
Rath says (in common), 'let me rephrase'.
Rath says (in common), 'some of you must fight'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'Cowards in what sense Rath? I have watched Noctus and other fate members do things and go places Maldo doesn't want to try'.
Rath says (in common), 'I seriously doubt that Belsambar'.
Rath says (in common), 'but..'.
You say, 'We are blues who fight when we are forced to fight, who prefer to spend our energies tending those who are waylayed by the great war'.
You say, 'or too young to be soldiers in it.'.
Rath says (in common), 'think about it'.
Rath says (in common), 'if there is an ongoing battle'.
Rath says (in common), 'that's alot of people who are copping out of the draft'.
You say, 'We are the medics between the lines, tending to the fallen.'.
You say, 'We're the American red cross.'.
Rath sits down and thinks deeply.

Rath says (in common), 'you are'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'THERE is an analogy'.
Rath says (in common), 'but to serve Good'.
Rath says (in common), 'well I mean'.
Rath says (in common), 'you're just being counterproductive'.
Rath says (in common), 'by helping evils'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'Medics are neutral in battle...by code and hippocratic oath, do you deem doctors to be counterproductive in battle?'.
Rath says (in common), 'Belsambar'.
Rath says (in common), 'I guarantee you American doctors didn't patch up Nazi's in WW2'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'there are few doctors who care what side you're on...if you are hurt, they try to fix you.'.
Rath says (in common), 'we killed them'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'Oh?'.
Rath says (in common), 'alot'.
Rath says (in common), 'the soldiers died'.
Rath says (in common), 'civilians are different'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'Check the history books Rath. There are MANY accounts of hurt people being aided by the meds on BOTH sides'.
Rath says (in common), 'I'm pretty damn good on history'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'the difference is, the Nazi's didn't always follow thorugh'.
Rath says (in common), 'the casualty rate for nazi's behind enemy lines in world war 2 east of the champagne in 1944 was over 80 percent'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'But then agian, they never too a hippocratic oath either'.
Rath says (in common), 'that's quoted from Ropp's work'.
Rath says (in common), 'look it up if you want'.
Belsambar shrugs.
Belsambar says (in common), 'That was the Nazi's'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'the Allies treated all men equally in the hospital'.
Rath says (in common), 'that's also a real world example'.
Rath says (in common), 'that we said we wouldn't use'.
Rath says (in common), 'so this is my point Cordir'.
Rath says (in common), 'there is no Neutral force'.
Rath says (in common), 'there is a greater good'.
Rath says (in common), 'there is a greater evil'.
Rath says (in common), 'there is no greater neutral'.
You ponder the question.
Rath says (in common), 'neutrality is a concieved ground'.
Cordir was a greater Neutral Power.
You snicker softly.
Rath says (in common), 'oh poo :P'.
Rath says (in common), 'not that'.
You say, 'Lemme answer you this way.'.
Rath says (in common), 'therefore,neutrals serve themselves rather then a greater "cause"'.
Rath says (in common), 'and are selfish spiritually'.
You say, 'In your perception.'.
You say, 'I _double dog dare you_ to start a character for the Chosen.'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'hrm...not good...'.
Rath laughs.
Rath says (in common), 'why'.
You say, 'I think you'll find them the absolute most _self-less_ bunch on the mud.'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'No,m I just noticed I'm out of recalls :P\'.
You say, 'They are constantly dropping their own tasks and helping others.'.
You say, 'giving of their own reserves to help strangers.'.
Rath says (in common), 'spiritually'.
Rath says (in common), 'not material'.
You say, 'facing danger from YOU GUYS repeatedly, to help others.'.
Rath says (in common), 'spiritually meaning they don't serve a greater power other then themselves and their own whims'.
You say, 'they serve ME. I'm their 'higher power.
Rath says (in common), 'no no,you're a single entity'.
You say, 'I give them their spiritual direction.'.
Rath says (in common), 'I mean like a collective "sense" of good'.
Rath says (in common), 'or a collective "sense" of evil'.
You say, 'Rather than an ambigious 'concept', they serve a very specific set of goals '.
Rath says (in common), 'that's because it's fabricated'.
You ponder the question.
You say, 'its a lot clearer than "Kill the other guys"'.
Rath says (in common), 'good and evil are ambiguous because they are absolutes'.
You say, 'which is what good and evil are '.
Rath rolls his eyes.
Rath says (in common), 'that's about as good as me saying neutrals are fence sitters'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'Good and evil is always relative'.
Rath says (in common), 'let's go to the real world now'.
You say, 'well there ya go'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'what is considered good by some is considered to be evil by others'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'and vice versa'.
Rath says (in common), 'cite me one text that creates a sense of "neutrality" '.
Belsambar says (in common), 'gimme a sec....been a long time since I've talked theology'.
You say, 'medic.'.
You say, 'Heck, the priests that would wander the battlefields, giving succor to any fallen.'.
Rath says (in common), 'this is philosophy'.
You say, 'last rites, etc.'.
You shrug.
Rath says (in common), 'but we can get into theology if you want'.
Belsambar shrugs.
Rath says (in common), 'what about that?that's good'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'same difference to me...I run into brick walls whenever I do talk because most are not as open-minded as I'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'Hrm...I'm trying to actually remember any of the Wiccan texts...there aren't that many you can cite'.
Rath says (in common), 'although I don't really agree with Wiccans,I'd take it as a viable reference'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'mostly because they were destroyed by the romans and later the catholics...'.
Cordir is, of course, wiccan.
You grin mischievously.
Belsambar throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
Rath says (in common), 'yeah,and Tranquility is too'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'I'm as close as you can get without actually being one'.
Rath says (in common), 'she called me a "bearded man with a bitch complex" worshipper'.
Rath says (in common), 'ie a christian'.
Cordir arches an eyebrow inquisitively.
Belsambar says (in common), 'I have no religeon, but most of the rites and rituals..."fit" me...'.
Rath says (in common), 'I was about to knock her flat'.
You say, 'I said no such thing'.
Rath says (in common), 'Tranquility said that '.
Belsambar says (in common), 'that would be RL I'm guessing...'.
Rath says (in common), 'no,it was on the mud'.
Rath says (in common), 'I was gonna hit my monitor'.
Belsambar snickers softly.
Rath says (in common), 'not that I'm a traditional christian'.
Rath says (in common), 'but '.
Belsambar says (in common), 'there's narrow mindedness on both sides'.
Rath says (in common), 'there is no text to my knowledge that defines a "sense" of neutrality in the world like many others define good and evil'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'In some ways, I am neutral in that I do not follow any religeon'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'I'm just glad I don't go to a catholic school...in theology class I'd get yelled at for trying to convert people'.
Rath says (in common), 'I went to a catholic school'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'simply because I try to get people to look at the other side'.
Rath says (in common), 'I am decidedly not catholic'.
Rath says (in common), 'my father was a methodist minister'.
Rath says (in common), 'one of my professors is a Muslum'.
Rath says (in common), 'I have read alot about religions'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'ok, maybe it's just the schools around here'.
Rath says (in common), 'I hope Cordir is getting texts'.
Rath says (in common), 'I'm curious'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'I live in an area that tends to be either "evil"-ish, or puritanic'.
You say, 'no, I'm not.'.
Rath says (in common), 'aw shoot'.
You say, 'I'm simply staying out of what appears to be a debate between you two'.
Rath says (in common), 'well jump in,lets hear what you think'.
You say, 'I don't like religious debates.'.
You say, 'They get very nasty very quickly.'.
Clue nods.
Rath says (in common), 'yeah'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'Feh...debates...I hate debates...why do I always end up in one?\'.
Rath says (in common), 'I love them'.
You say, 'And since I got my ass retired for getting emotional and acting without thinking'.
You say, 'I'm trying really really hard not to get emotionally worked up about this game.'.
You smile happily.
Belsambar snickers softly.
Rath says (in common), 'alright then-neutrality'.
Rath says (in common), 'give me a real world piece of literature that creates a sense of it'.
You say, '"The Fifth Sacred Thing" by Starhawk'.
Rath says (in common), 'the what'.
Belsambar grumbles.
Rath says (in common), 'give me something that people have heard of'.
You say, '"The Fifth Sacred Thing" by Starhawk'.
You say, 'Starhawk is the equivilent of a billy graham with class for pagans'.
You say, 'You may not have heard of her, but most wiccans have'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'ooh...Cordir, you have to send me titles, and isbns'.
Belsambar grins happily.
Rath says (in common), 'oh'.
Rath says (in common), 'so this is a famous Wiccan'.
You say, 'That book defines and exemplifies my spiritual and ethical beliefs.'.
Rath says (in common), 'so it's your Bible'.
Rath says (in common), 'interesting'.
You say, 'its a work of fiction'.
Rath raises an eyebrow.
Rath says (in common), 'so?'.
Rath says (in common), 'it can still be your bible if it isn't true'.
Rath says (in common), 'as long as it describes your beliefs'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'yeah...like the necronomicon is a thing of fiction...'.
Belsambar suddenly realizes his mistake and slaps himself.
You say, 'the necronomicon is silly'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'I just relized one of my friends still has my copy of that'.
Rath says (in common), 'talk more about this book by starhawk'.
You say, 'Read it yourself.'.
You say, 'but I hope you're not homophobic.'.
Belsambar nods.
Rath says (in common), 'yeah,I am'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'nope...junk anyway'.
Rath says (in common), 'we're all homophobic bible thumping fundamentalists'.
You say, 'no, I'm not making that assumption, Rath.'.
You say, 'I was stating that if you were going to read the book, I hoped you were not.'.
You say, 'I did not say, "Gosh, you evil christian person, I bet you're homophobic and will hate this bookk!"'.
You say, 'so don't imply that I did'.
Rath says (in common), 'I'm just banking off of what Tranquility said earlier'.
You say, 'I'm not Ty.'.
Rath says (in common), 'I wasa just being sarcastic'.
Rath says (in common), 'so you can't summarize your beliefs for me?'.
You say, 'I believe that there are five sacred things.'.
You say, 'Earth, air, fire, water, and the fifth, which is spirit.'.
You say, 'I believe that, so long as it harms none, that people should do as they wish. The emphasis on "harming none"'.
You say, 'I believe in a spiritual wheel of life, in which rebirth occours.'.
Rath says (in common), 'reincarnation'.
Rath says (in common), 'so essentially there is no good and evil in your world?'.
Belsambar rolls his eyes.
You say, 'sure there is'.
Rath sits down and thinks deeply.
Belsambar throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
Rath says (in common), 'so the goods are the people who don't harm'.
Rath says (in common), 'and the evils are the ones who do'.
You shrug.
You say, 'by your definitions, sure'.
Rath says (in common), 'by your definitions,where is the good and the evil?'.
You say, 'I believe that every spirit has the right to exist with certain basic freedoms.'.
You say, 'That does not mean that it is essentially 'good.
You say, 'I believe that we simply exist in life, and can choose to do each action.'.
Rath says (in common), 'but you said there is good and evil in your world'.
Rath says (in common), 'I am asking what they are?'.
Rath says (in common), 'I am not trying to be honery,I am tyring to understand'.
You say, 'Cruelty without purpose is evil.'.
Clue says (in old-common), 'good and evil are personal definitions'.
You say, 'Hurt without purpose is evil.'.

You say, 'exactly'.
Rath says (in common), 'what's cruelty with purpose?'.
You say, 'The severing of a relationships'.
You say, 'The decisions of life and death'.
You say, 'one twin can live, one twin must die - pick one'.

Clue says (in old-common), 'to, say, Genghis Kahn ... Hitler would likely be "good"'.
Rath says (in common), 'Khan would hate him'.
Rath says (in common), 'so cruelty with choice is not evil?'.
Clue says (in old-common), 'putting that aside, working on beliefs and actions'.

You say, 'It all depends on the ethics of the situation'.

Rath says (in common), 'well I guess that's dumb if you don't believe in the christian idea of marriage'.
Rath sits down and thinks deeply.
Rath says (in common), 'sure you can talk about the extremes of everything'.
Rath says (in common), 'steal because you're gonna die of hunger..kill because you are about to..'.
You nod.
You say, 'adultery is defined as sex outside the bonds of marriage.'.
You say, 'however, if all parties are consenting, then I don't think its a sin.'.
Rath says (in common), 'you're breaking a promise'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'actually, I have no problem of aldultury...but I also belive in polygamy'.
Rath says (in common), 'you're ditching someone you love'.
Rath says (in common), 'or swore you would love'.
Rath says (in common), 'better not talk about that'.
You say, 'not true, Rath'.
Rath says (in common), 'too personal'.
Rath says (in common), 'you can justify greed/'.
You say, 'There isn't a commandment against greed.'.
You say, 'there's a commandment against 'coveting.
Xavier says (in drow), 'Im greedy........'.
Xavier smiles happily.
You nod in recognition to him.
Cordir waggles her finger reprovingly at Xavier.
You giggle.
Xavier flogs you! OUCH! You'd better not do that again!
Xavier grins mischievously.
Rath says (in common), 'which is greed'.
You say, 'Hey! no flogging the girls.'.
Rath says (in common), 'jealousy and greed are two snakes on the same staff'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'fems are meant to be...'.
Belsambar hugs you.
Belsambar says (in common), 'not flogged'.
Belsambar misses being a marionette.
Rath says (in common), 'well that is an interesting belief Cordir..so who are the neutrals in your world'.
You say, 'Neutrality isn't defined in the faith, Rath. You keep puting your labels on things.'.
You say, 'When others simply don't have them.'.
Rath says (in common), 'the whole world is labeled'.
Rath says (in common), 'otherwise we can't talk about anything cordir'.
Rath says (in common), 'that's the nature of language'.
Rath says (in common), 'you can't just say it exists and we can't define it'.
You ponder the question.
You say, 'I'm not going to argue with you, Rath.'.
You say, 'I know what I believe.'.
Rath says (in common), 'can you at least point out to me who Neutrals are in Starhawk's book'.
Rath says (in common), 'I'm trying to work with you here and I'm just getting a "I believe this,no explanations"'.
You say, 'Read the book.'.
Clue says (in old-common), 'she already answered that ... read it and decide for yourself'.
Rath rolls his eyes.
Rath says (in common), 'bah'.
Rath says (in common), 'no one will talk with me'.
You say, 'I'm not going to trot out my entire belief system - which is very intensely personal - for your amusement.'.
You say, 'You're very, very difficult to talk to'.
Rath shrugs.
Rath says (in common), 'why?'.
You say, 'While we've been talking, I've had no less than four people give me tells about how hard you are to talk to'.
You say, 'And that they're surprised I'm not screaming more.'.
Belsambar snickers with you about your shared secret.
You shrug.
Rath says (in common), 'I'm logical,I'm thorough'.
Rath says (in common), 'people don't like that,big friggin deal'.
Belsambar rolls his eyes.
You say, 'You're stubborn. Your single minded. You don't see the point of view of others.'.
You say, 'You don't accept their evidence AS evidence.'.
Rath says (in common), 'oh contrare'.
Rath says (in common), 'I see from the point of view of others VERY well.That's why I argue so much'.
You say, 'You are often snide or cutting, and your word choice is vaguely insulting some times.'.
You shrug.
Clue thinks the phrase is "au contraire"...
Rath says (in common), 'you've given me evidence'.
Rath says (in common), 'and when I asked about it,you just said read it'.
Rath says (in common), 'Cordir'.
Rath says (in common), 'you often insult people vaguely too'.
Rath says (in common), 'we ride the same boat'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'well...it's probly something that can best be understood not by quoting...'.
You say, 'because I'm not willing to further discuss the specifics of what is holy to me.'.
You nod in recognition to him.
You say, 'Yep.'.
You say, 'I tend to give when I get.'.
Rath says (in common), 'nah'.
Rath says (in common), 'we're both just mean'.
You ponder the question.
Rath says (in common), 'or maybe I'm meaner'.
You say, 'I would agree to that last point.'.
Rath says (in common), 'I'm stubburn and opinionated.You got that right'.
Rath says (in common), 'but I'm THOROUGH'.
Rath says (in common), 'I BACK up what I believe in'.

You say, 'tenacious, pig=headed, stubborn and dense as a brick wall....'.
Belsambar says (in common), 'I back up what I believe...I just get tired of beating on titanum skulls like yours'.
Rath rolls his eyes.
Rath says (in common), 'dense?'.
Rath says (in common), 'you've got to be kidding me'.
Clue says (in old-common), 'if you were "thorough" you would read the book so you can both discuss it from the same ground'.
Rath says (in common), 'you're accusing me of being stupid'.
