I thank your honour for the clarification. I will be sure to use the proper terms of address from now on. [
I'm going to say something here as a warning to all, so, Flem, don't take this personally.
I will not take any crap from anyone even in the sense of sarcasm or maudlin humour here that will even remotely affect any legal opinion I have in this case when all is said and done. I have read your comment(s) and taken them into consideration as they relate to this case and the TNP Consitution.
Now I am going to make a comment that is possibly OOC and probably inappropriate here, but it has a direct bearing on my level of tolerance and sense of humour in relation to this case or anything else on this forum.
My father is 92 years old and he is dying. He, as an American, volunteered to serve in the RAF in WWII to save your sorry asses in the face of the onslaught of the Nazis. He shot down a dozen or so Luftwaffe pilots and when the US entered the war, he served against the Japanese for the rest of the war, above and beyond the call of duty.
He always taught me that whether it is play or not, you deal fairly with all parties, enemy or not. This was an absolute. You obey the rules, and you play by the rules regardless of whether the enemy obeyed by the rules or not. Trying to influence people with inane babbling and obfuscation is to be ignored.
Frankly, in character or not, I don't give a crap. I understand you are a God-Mod admin on this board. You have the ability to silence anything anyone says, dictatorially. But don't ever, every, ever push my good disposition.
Yeah, I am pissed, but not at you specifically nor anyone else. I am pissed at the general disrespect some people have at the TNP Court because they want a decision before it it is rendered after due consideration.
I am just about the most fair person that you will find in TNP to deal with court cases because, frankly, after about 12 years of BS and bickering I have arrived at a state of I don't give a sod when it concerns political influence that is presented in an attempt to influence my decisions. I will make a decision based upon the evidence presented and according to the TNP, God forbid, Rules, laws, regulations and (God forbid) tradition in terms of the intents of said laws.
DO NOT come into this court room and present unrequested nor unwarranted material.
In other words, As presiding judge, I will expect you to display the proper level of respect, regardless of your admin status, or STFU unless you are called a witness in this case.
As a matter of personal honour and in the spirit of keeping a 'stiff upper lip', regardless of personal RL tragedy, I will continue to preside over this case with all due diligence and in respect to the proper and honourable delivery of justice in a fashion that my father would be proud of, game or RL.
In other words, cut out the crap. Let's get this case over with in a fair and impartial way. And I don't want to have to use my abilities in this section of the forum to silence contemptuous behaviour.
Nothing personal, but I'm getting a little bit pissed off about the flippancy here. If anyone wants this case over and done with, or any such case before my bench, then I suggest that the idiotic comments from the peanut gallery be dispensed with.
I will not take any crap from anyone.
Do I make myself clear?
