*sigh* I'm trying to drop the issue. I already said once that I shouldn't have used the phrase "none of your bloody business", and I meant it. The Realm is for all of us, and that also means the we should be free to ask for things without some group crawling out of the woodwork and trying to turn it into some kind of Jyhad. This has happened several times in the last few months. It may be that these folks are unconsciously backlashing against those things they CAN'T control in the Realm by automatically vetoing those things they can. I'm also sure that there are people who are genuinely against the idea, not just the notion of something new. Before we go off on issues next time, let's all ask ourselves these things: how much will this resemble the RL EPA cracking down on farmers for "destroying wetlands" that never existed? How much needless heartburn will I cause by going against this idea? Is it harmless? Is it going to affect me or my gameplay? Is it something I as a player should be fighting against? Am I just unhappy that someone else may benefit and I won't? Folks, if an idea gets though all those questions and still seems reasonable, let's leave it alone. Chances are, we'll be ok if it's implemented. Besides- the issue is really moot, as the Realm Team has made the decision already. *sigh* -Commander
