Now I've never claimed to be a minister of peace, nor have I always been the most level headed when it comes to controversy, but things have gone too out of control for me not to put my two cents in.
They say when a person acts inappropriately you are left with two choices: be the better man or stoop to the level of your attacker. I have nothing but respect for the people in USA A7, as I've said before, but in my opinion the situation with Silverymoon has destroyed part of our once heralded credibility as a sanctuary for peace and camaraderie. FairForever has let the situation go, as we can all tell by the lack of posts. Maybe someone talked to him about his behavior, we don't know what goes on behind the scenes.
Yes, Silverymoon lost twice. The last thing an honorable person does is kick someone when they are down. It is not up to me to judge whether they deserve it or whether they don't, but it was my understanding that A7 is a community and there is never a better time to repair a relationship between the Elves and the rest of this league than right now. We are presented with a situation that we should be coveting as respectable people. Last season, I felt like regardless of the outcomes we were, in the end, friends. Sort of like in a Rugby game where you beat the heck out of each other then go drink beers together.
So, in my attempt to assist A7 in repairing an image that we allowed to be shattered, lets pick the Elves up and go have beers together. I watched the game film of Silverymoon and Great Plains. They both played a hell of a football game regardless of the outcome. Two solid squads. Good game Silverymoon, good game Great Plains.
Beers, lets go get some.
