>>>>>[+++++He puts down his guitar and looks at Urbanus and Easy with
just a shade of what might be anger+++++ Good Sirs... Please... Let us
have a little peace, if we may. This is not the time, nor the place for
the airing of insults among our kind. I would say the same were you of
other breeding. It is neither polite nor civilized to bring such
conflicts here. There are a great many who would point to such and say
what a rabble we are.

Is it not the way of the intelligent and the sure to speak in rational
tones and even voice, even when brought to anger? I have heard it said
so...

We are one people. One breed. Where we live by fortune, choice, or chance
has little to do with that. It certainly cannot alter what we are when
all other things are said and done. Tarislar is dangerous to those who
do not know how to navigate it's secrets, and make themselves a citizen
of it's streets... But could not the very same be said of Portland? Or
Salem? Or Dublin? Even of this city? Of Seattle?

I do not wish to seem foreward in my observations. Do not misinderstand
my motives... I simple believe that the time has come for moderation.
No good will be served by insult and accusation on either side. Sit, if
you would... Drink and discuss that which is dear to you... Listen to the
songs, and the rhymes, and the stories... But take your anger no farther.
It is unseemly.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Hey, Shatterglass, we're one breed, and that includes us, orks,
trolls, humans, dwarves, sasquatches, shapeshifters, ghouls, dragons, in
fact anyone able to hold a half-civilised conversation.

And I'm not angry.]<<<<<

>>>>>[+++++He smiles again+++++ Exactly my point, Easy. And... Indeed...
The anger seems to have come more from Sir Urbanus than from yourself. I
was simply speaking in general terms. A bad habit, I will be the first to
admit, but... Applicable to the moment.]<<<<<

>>>>>[I salute your voice of reason Shatterglass. And agree with what
you have to say, I admit that it is possible my reason has been altered
slightly by the continual racial slurs and blatant hatred displayed by
the person Easy. Rest assured that no more from me will be said on the
subject. I am sick of it anyway, it is impossible to introduce reason
and tolerance to anyone so strong in their hatred, they will always see
only what suits them. Very much like the blind people in other parts of
the world and throughout history who have also preached racial hatred.
I had just hoped to maybe alter the opinion of one, but it seems that is
not to be. Unfortunately, I cannot take you up on the offer of a drink.
I'm afraid I don't drink.]<<<<<

to them? Many things are available, is there a preference this time, or
will my own selection be sufficient? I think a small paycheck before
Christmas would be nice <g>]<<<<<
