Rather than having numerous threads cluttered by "off" topic sermons I thought it might be an idea to group them here as not all of us are away with the fairies and might appreciate NOT having to read "off" topic spam!

Those who do what? Also, BA isn't fighting Apoc..
Unless you are talking about a hypothetical situation, then you aren't facing reality yourself, so telling others to face reality isn't very logical.
your point is?
Martin, you normally make intelligent, (if somewhat long for most people's taste) posts. This is somewhat off the mark. I've reread it several times, and still don't get what exactly you were trying to say..
If you are trying to continue the long beaten into the ground argument for BA to decide to fight either BA or MIM, then your doing it wrong
If you are trying to say you've given up on that, then why speak?
A question for Andrew? Do you really think the true right advice for me or people who think as I do is: to seek some new diplomatic answer to avoiding war with Apoc or BA or anyone in this game? Who the heck is there left to fight but Apoc. You guys had a huge hand in friggin crafting this world. What you expect? submission?
,The reality I speak of is that Apoc has positioned itself in such a way that they are the only logical alliance or enemy anyone can have.

I believe this more accurately called a "pragmatist." Not necessarily an idealist.I consider myself an idealist. I like to think I search for what is right and what will truly work, or has the best opportunity to work with the variables presented.
Personally, offhand (I reserve the right to change my mind on this) I think Idealism can bad when you are wrong and it dominates your thoughts or worse your actions in an area. I dont believe that necessarily has to be true. Probably what is necessary to not be dominated by it is to be openminded, defend your views(iron sharpeneth iron) dont lie to others or to yourself about them. Listen to reason. I consider this to be true except in the case of the one source of absolute truth(The Bible). I dont recommend anyone to be willing to relent on that.
I think the affects of Idealism gone wrong can be small or large depending on how much influence you have and in what areas you are wrong.

See: Don Quixote
The problem most idealists encounter is twofold:
The often sacrifice the good for the perfect.....
And in so doing, they are perpetually unsatisfied with outcomes.
Certainly I dont look for perfection from people involved in things, though, I do strive for perfection in gameplan and intent. I think thats achievable only that it doesnt ensure some sort of utopia.
Indeed. Utopia is never an option.
