(again).
I'm glad to see Highlander's safe. As for "Kuergan" (too many people seen that
damn movie), good riddance.
Regarding the Continuing Saga of Certain Saurian Slime-balls, there's no
technical reason why a ritual assault on the Intrepid coudn't be done. The
catagories "combat", "manipulation", "detection", etc., are
purely arbitrary,
and were probably invented by some bespectacled Hermetic type. I wonder at
their incessant need to catagorize and quantify. I suggest, however, that it
would take somehting on the order of the Great Ghost Dance to breech Tirandor's
defenses.
Oh, and you can add me to the list of redheads. :)]<<<<<

How ya been. Hows tricks.I take it your still with BodyCount, neh?
Sorry, to high profile for my tastes. Sabre says hello. Asks if you
need help in you studies. *nudge* Gotta run. Sly (you remember that
stuck up, arrogant combat mage) is more than a bit peeved at what I did
to his house THIS time. He outta learn, my word is my bond...but you
have to be specific. Elves (especially the decker/sam's) are wiley
as all get out.]<<<<<
-Harlequin <What did I do????>

>>>>>[ Oh, no. You didn't try to kill his house did you? It was bad
enough the first time. I remember he 'offered' to jack you into the
220v outlet. Yes, I still run with BC, and we're not AS high profile
as we used to be (there is still a wake whereever we go). Give Sabre
my best.]<<<<<
-Masque <to hide behind>

>>>>>[ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY HOUSE?????????????? If I ever catch you, you pointy
eared runt, I'll make dandelion wine from the remains. I'll put your
ears on a necklace! I'll strangle you with a spell. Your bones will be
power foci. Your hide will be a nice biner for a grimoire.]<<<<<

time to hide in the shadows, love. By the way, G.G., tell Snarfingalius
that I owe him for the flood lights, the cameras, and all the little
accessories.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Oh and here comes another one. Oh yeah Basher, like I started
hurling around insults and I was the only one huh. The fucking matter
is over so push off and blow it out of your ass. Obviously I ain't the
only moron here who can't see beyond his ass.


I am getting heartily fed up with you mooks constantly commin' out of
the woodwork now you know it's all over and finished with, attempting to
justify your silence in the early part of th'argument. If'n any of you
useless cowards had spoken up aforehand maybe we wouldn't now be in a
situation where the Lynch's are gonna lose face cause they wanna kill
someone over an imagined insult. Well how big of you Neuron Basher to
come out of your hole, and attack me for somethin' that ain't nothin' to
do with you. Nice o' your lordship to show his presence afore I get into
a situation where I'm gonna have ta kill Quinn just to prove nothin'.


Lookit everybody, the gods are gatherin'. Anyone else wanna piece o' me?
Huh? Too fraggin' scared to attack me at the beginnin' you all come out
to pick over the bones. Ya bunch o' sad sacks.


I ain't the one offended stupid. I ain't the one demanding blood and
death and hellfire. You read this thread? I doubt that very much. You
may have noticed a coupla names you recognised, and thought to yerself.
Oh look, Lillith and co are pickin' on someone, I better get one in
quick afore he's gone.]<<<<<

>>>>>[ I have no intention of attacking you. If I disagreed with you=
enough
to take any kind of direct action about it, I would have flatlined you on
your way into the node. As far as the matter being over, you're awfully
fucking talkative about a subject that has been closed, now aren't you?=
Give
me a break.

Justify my silence? No, I don't particularly feel that need. The entire
argument wasn't (and still isn't, honestly) important or interesting enough=

to keep me awake. I'm just sick and tired of seeing all the damn message
traffic about something that obviously isn't going to get resolved by talk.

Personally, I think all involved should agree to disagree and head back=
into
their individual corners.

Word of advice, though. Jason and Lillith Lynch don't give a rat's ass=
about
'losing face' for wasting you. If someone wants you dead bad enough,=
you're
as good as dead. That goes for me, you, Jason and Lillith Lynch, and just
about everyone else. Hell, if Dunkelzahn can get killed, anyone can.=
