Declaration Of Intent

[gaspode1]

Re archerke's points:-

1. I'm really not sure what you are getting at here. I don't want to sound caustic or supercilious but your grammar confuses me. It's not a question of whether guilds fight over supernodes or not. It's a question of the morality of a strong group telling others what they may or may not do. The rest of your point is already answered elsewhere in the thread (I think).

2. Yes, it most certainly is right (morally and for other reasons) to judge the actions of others. Do I need to spell it out that it happens all the time in life. And it is only by making such judgements, and discussing them, that a society comes to agree on a common set of values by which they believe they should live.

3. Yes, although I think interfere is an emotive word that does not carry the correct connotations in this situation. It implies the situation I am intervening in is none of my business. When a group commences a policy that affects all others outside that group it becomes my business.

And I've got to say that your conclusion amounts to the biggest cop out of all. I'm a realist and I recognise that 'putting my head over the parapet' in this way will probably have no practical effect on the situation and will be detrimental to me personally. But that doesn't make the point I have made any less morally correct or mean it shouldn't be said. How many policies will you let others make that could be detrimental to you but that you will keep saying 'Oh well it doesn't matter, I can work round it' and what will you do come the day a policy is commenced that you can't work round?
