( this is a silly convo, about a speck of a moment in time ,, but details get debated,, and i would be curious to see what are considered 'abusive' messages, too)
Dear smexy,, dear snarky, i do like you,, but jeeez,,
i stand by what i said, completely,, FC would not have been Baron chieftain if he had an abusive personality, i dont like abusive or overly snarky personalities, and never in leadership. Plus, he would not be so stupid to be abusive to ,,, now you say 3 of you?? We were never anything but complete underdogs , we kept discussing ways to gain the respect of 1984 , and hoped growing into a a more potent effective tribe, turning our barblers into proper enemy attackers etc. might give us a chance to work with you rather than against you. so abusive talk would have been insane, to say the least.
you paint a picture of FC100 as having some secret abusive agenda to sabotage the entire effort we were working for. i think you chose to have your feelings hurt and accuse 'abuse language' as a shallow pretense to attack a tribe that hadn't even completed the merging process, too proud to admit there was potential of a new problem for your tribe ( especially if 4-6 of those tribes who opted out of the multi-merge did not) .. there is no reason to drag FC's name through the mud to save face, for declaring war on us was not a bad decision ,, it truly did stave off our merges and growth, a sound choice on your part.
i know your snarky letters to him,, after you declared , may have got some non polite reactions,, but i read those letters too,, and there was no 'abusive' language i could detect.
if he managed to cover his secret abusive tracks,, delete his mail so i couldn't see his closet abusive obsessions when i sat him,, i would be very surprised , everything i read of him was reasonable, respectful, and in line with our philosophy of trying to keep our cool in the face of flamey sarcastic baiting. i think,, and hope, you feigned being over sensitive , because you have shown enough grown up thinking and smarts in your role as a leader that we all can technically respect your accomplishments , its just bubble bursting to think you really are over sensitive enough to turn innocent comments into highly offensive slights that brook the wrath that ''hell hath'' of a snarky slighted leader who requires only non proud cowering to avoid the epithet of 'abusive' talking..
