-Orc, are you a religious sort? If so, would you like it if I started asking 
you why you "support the legitimacy of that crap?" This isn't as important 
to me as religion is for some, but when you start attacking someone's point 
of view, you don't help yourself. Diplomacy, sir, diplomacy.-

-So stop attacking it, and he, and I, for that matter, will stop knocking 
down the attacks and retaliating, and what began as an argument won't 
escalate. Any farther. Maybe.-

-Right. So stop cluttering our inboxes if you know we'll smash your 
attempts.-

-What would you do in our place? Be honest, now. Everyone, in fact, imagine 
what you would do if you had such power and others were trying to take it 
away without provocation. I don't think anyone would surrender it. Not 
without having a little fun first. Hey, that gives me an idea...-

-Sure. We occupy it 98% of the time. The other 4% is SOEs.-
