So we're clear, the casual hostilities thus far are the result of being "at war" with the sole Negative Feedback member who decided to pay attention to your declarations and give you some attention in the commercials while watching television. Not even a proper member, just a prospect, if you believe the stories about feeder corps.

I got the impression that there may be a feeling within your federation that letting the subject die would be the best course of action at this stage in your development. If this feeling is strong enough to act on, read on.

Letting the threads sink is not going to be enough. I am willing to drop it and take no further action based on those declarations, if those responsible acknowledge the folly of making them.

To be frank and a little arrogant, I do not believe there is any risk to us in your continuing with the war you have decided to enter into and, all modesty aside, that there is great risk and little benefit to be had for your group and those you are tied to. I explain this so you understand that I have no investment in your accepting this offer and will not be giving a similar opportunity if this one is rejected. My only motivation for this is that I kind of like some of you and escalating the negative attention I've given to you so far is likely to not be very fun.

This thread is going to have a significant impact on the future of your federation, so while I enjoy engaging with you in a less than serious tone, this time think it over before responding with tongue in cheek.

Well let's get to the root of it.

This started from someone affiliated with the corp, commenting on one Rhonian Darkstar with what sounds like a threat. Jest or not, we take great offense to someone threatening us and then belittling us. Wasn't a threat to the actual FSC at first but it escalated to that level because we take the "watching" each others back very serious, even though New Eden law dictates to keep a knife with you while you're watching your allies' back, and weren't going to stand there and ignore it like many other corporations and alliances have done when they have been insulted and threatened.

Off topic is gonna happen in any thread. Are you speaking on behalf of everyone in your federation who contributed to the war dec?

Great! I'ma leave you alone, then. It was a pleasure helping to buff your site's defences.
