If it bothers you, Tyrynna, why still post? ;)
Lol i know right...posting about posting...but say what you will some good has come from this.
I love Tyrynna dearly, and have fair confidence she won't misconstrue my post and thwack me with a frying pan in the game (even though she will on general principles).
My ultimate personal goal is to close down the war, but you don't do that by compromising the right. There's a reason shows use that cliche of "I don't negotiate with terrorists". They're saying they aren't going to concede terms to people who are blatantly doing something wrong. They're saying the ends don't justify the means.
I'm not definitively saying Kod hasn't experienced wrongdoing; what I am saying is he's likewise done wrong, and two wrongs don't make a right. To be honest, the perfect resolution to all of this is that those who can be shown to have done wrong to Kod apologize to him, he apologizes to everyone for the one instance of his locking AOOC, and communicates to Rigsby and any other guild members that future efforts of that nature will result in ejection from the guild.
In short, there's an opportunity here for things to be repaired not only between Kod and those upset with him, but for the reputation of his guild at large. It's going to require some willingness to give ground on both sides before it can happen.
