> Again, why is necessary to be nasty to someone just because they're misguided?

I can't leave someone to their own shortsightedness. If they can't be reasoned
with, it must be taken to the next level.

> So if you've never seen him defile in any way why attack him on sight? You contradict yourself in case you don't realize. Above you say that if there's a master that doesn't defile you'd leave him alone, now you say that any master must die even if you've no proof that they defile. This would be like an arbiter flagging entropy on sight just because they're anti-order and MUST HAVE broken the law at some point in life.

Ask Ropitier if I've ever attacked him on sight. In fact, I've tried on more than one
occaision to reach out to him. It's an interest situation that begs for a bit
of roleplay. He's just not willing or receptive.

> Can you see an elven follower of Galadriel making it into Sylvan and following her religion very closely? Arantomir can't, and if it's impossible I call it dumbing down.

A quote from Galadriel's helpfile in regard to her religion:

'A bearer of the
leaf will try to avoid combat, seeking for a more peaceful resolution when
possible. Her followers are few but strong in their will to make Thera a more
peaceful land.'

They strive for peace if it's possible. In this sense, it seems to me they will
fight if necessary. It may not be the right path for a follower of Galadriel but
I don't think I could rule out them becoming a Warder.

This is silly. Supporting? No. Reacting to it? Well I have to as a Warder.

> You're not sure that Ropitier has, yet you all kill him on sight. *shrug*

Ugh, Just because I haven't seen him doesn't mean that others have or have not.

Sure, if you are having fun doing so, and the people around you enjoy it, what's
wrong with it? We play to have fun, no?
