ANST - Why am I playng this game?

Personally I have not ignored this message, and have saved it in my queue.

The reason I have done this is the fact that I am going to watch this
thread very closely.

As long as we discuss this with calm and careful consideration, I am a
very happy list master. Once names are placed with it and accusations
made, I will no longer be happy.

It is a tragedy that this incident happened. It is a tragedy that
someone had to witness it. Unfortunately none of us can possibly know,
unless we were directly involved, what the motives, situation or outcome
of the particular altercation. It is also unfortunately that the people
within our Society are not perfect, particularly those that we hold in
high regard.

I hope that we continue to discuss this topic calmly and rationally.

I also hope that the original poster realizes that no matter what our
ideals are for this game, that most of the people participating in it
are still human and fallible.

Ciao,
