Like me and a friend were discussing.. "I feel like I am just helping the pollution here" and beating a "dead horse" (however you say that saying) and will move on. Like I've said before I've done my part. Have a nice day all. Still, isn't it funny how we result into name calling? Be good everyone and enjoy the boards.

It must be a chick thing.

>>the whole zomg Strange was mean to me thing<<

Let it go. Ignore him if you don't want to play the conflict game. It's really not that big a deal in the long run.

>>It's kind of hard to be outright agressive as an empath. So yeah, that makes sense.

No, it's not

SYLVERWIND: It's interesting to me how passive aggressive people seem to gravitate toward playing Empaths.

I think it has to do with the fact that a few Empaths see their non-combatant status as a shield for their actions. On more than one occasion I have seen an Empath deliberately provoke a member of another guild or butt into someone else's fight and then attempt to use the "helpless Empath" defense.

I think the same rule applies to people of all guilds, both young and old: Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

Isharon does have a very good point, but that's not really what happened in this situation. A lot of people got involved in this who had nothing to do with the initial confrontation, which was a 5th circle warrior mage taunting a 5th circle empath--mostly because he was an empath. It's interesting that this person chose to start harrassing the little empath rather than starting something with a barbarian of similar circle. That in itself speaks loudly about the character of the individual initiating the confrontation in the first place. Cowardice is cowardice, no matter the guild.

Now explain to me why that fifth circle empath must be "just a fifth circle empath." There's no reason that fifth circle empath can't have more evasion than that 5th circle wm and be perfectly able to giggle at him while he tries to cause damage. (WM's need what? 20 TM for 5th and 15 weapon ranks?) That still sounds like pulling the empath card to me. It's ok though, I saw a high circle empath do it repeatedly after egging on fight after fight yesterday. With examples like that to go off of it never surprises me that empaths feel that they are either immune to being involved in conflicts or completely free from ever receiving harm. I still fail to believe that the person got beat on just because he was so and so, an empath. Sorry, I've seen this played out WAY too many times to not realize there was probably something else said/done.

>>I'm just curious why he felt compelled to start a confrontation with an empath rather than a guild who could kill him on the spot.

I'm curious why the empath felt the need to point him out to begin with. Did he not have every right to hide as the empath did to forage or whatever?

>>That in itself, coupled with the attitude that empaths should just shut up, and that they don't really have an opinion, is troublesome. You are an empath, Arwinia. Does your opinion matter or count?

I don't get treated like this.

>>It's not a question hinged on your treatment

Of course my opinion counts but my treatment is directly related to the amount of respect I receive which stems from my behavior. With that, we've come full circle...

>>The empath pointed the warrior mage out of hiding after the empath was dragged (by the warrior mage) into another room.

1. Why did the empath get dragged (and please don't say "because he's an empath")

and

2. If he didn't want the conflict to escalate he probably shouldn't have continued it by pointing.

I keep bringing up his guild because in this case, it IS relevent. Purehand said he witnessed Mudezi harrassing another empath in the guild. Isharon has said similar things about Strange--that he's known for tagetting empaths. Guild IS relevent here. You can't make it irrelevent because it will better suit your argument.

1. Mudezi did start with the empath BECAUSE he was an empath. Guild has been part of the issue in this whole altercation all along.

2. Strange did say that empaths do not have opinions that count. That includes you, Arwinia. He didn't say, SOME empaths. It was an inclusive statement. Regardless of whether you like it or believe it, you were included.

Seriously, I really believe you are taking that statement way too literally and going a little bit overboard. Please step down from the soapbox.

They've brought up the fact that the person that the conflict was started with was an Empath and they couldn't fight back and why didn't they pick on someone else yadda yadda several times now.
