I don't blame people for having strong convictions, but when they actively become disruptive everytime they don't get their way I take that as more trouble than its worth and that they don't work well in groups.
He can contribute to Dustari by making suggestions and such and contributing to revising our ideas of how to do things here in the forums, but to be an active member of the kingdom takes more than that, and every time he has been one he does not work out.
What bothers me is when people can't take responsibility for their actions, and its Zurk's fault, not Zoe's and not mine that he is not well received anymore in game. I did offer him a position in Dustari that was a fairly high rank, a type of leadership role, he didn't want to because we were allied with Zormite whom he considers illegitimate due to their changes since 2k1.
I don't hold it against him he didn't want to return to Dustari then, but if someone takes a stand and says they won't be a member for specific reasons, they can't turn around and say they are a member and no one can change that. People have to pick a lane at some point.

I have never worked with you and therefore you are not in a position to judge me in that way. If you would recall my leadership you will also recall that my advisors helped to run the show. The only thing that came from me was the last word. You can even ask Gryffon on this subject. Every idea I have goes through him first. Why? I value his input. If I was hard to work with then tell me why so many work with me.
Lets see, each time I was an active member.
Duke! OMG I WAGED A SUCCESSFUL MILITARY CAMPAIGN CRUSHING THE PIRATES! OMG WARHARE MADE ONE OF THE NINE NOBLE HOUSES!
Duke! OMG I MADE THE DUSTARIAN NAVY AND NORTHERN MILITIA!
DUKE! OMG I REBELLED AGAINST TSENG BECAUSE HE WAS KICKING LARRIEN OUT FOR AN OOC STATEMENT ("I think Tseng should be on more often")
Let me tell you, each time I was in Dustari it just didn't work.
I do take responsibility for my actions. I went to Zoe asking if I could help Dustari and she called me
racist, a woman-hater, and Anti-American. That -MUST- be my fault because we know how living in the South makes you the scum of the world. Then Zoe comes on here to defame me even more ("I was only using the phrases you personally spoke to me")
I'll be honest with you. I hate the present state of Zormite. It's not Zormite. It seriously makes me sick, I should get a Doctors note and send it to Stefan.
So Padren, where is
your statue at the Dustari monument? Ask yourself this question before you question my 'citizenship' in a kingdom.
I reply only to correct.
