Personally, I'm surprised that people haven't blown off Walter yet. Seeing
as I intend to make him a true threat over time, that's a good thing. But
he's so far out of the ballpark(never mind off in left field) that I
figured that he'd have been all but ignored.

I can understand people trying to educate someone like Dashira, but not
hunting them down. After all, if every character here was hunted down for
ignorance, they'd all be dead by now. :)
