I go two days without checking PM and I find it in the midst of a minor emergency over the actions of one person. I'm distraught over merlyn's reactions, especially considering that he has continually called for a vote based on merit. The sides line up as people feel conned, while others feel justified. And then there's footpad who makes a good point, and others who just try to ignore the inanity of it all.

Now, metaperl's post carries the ire commonly associated with the brash princepawn. And I think it's a shame that it's gone this far. This "war" should go on elsewhere, or the participants should hang up their swords and get back to the apolitical (in comparison) daily routine of the monastery.

It's not productive, it serves to divide, and it affects more reputations than metaperl and princepawn. I'm not advocating a happy sitcom ending. I'm simply saying, "The monastery is not a place to have a pissing contest."

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!
