Randalf,
What strange blather you speak.
From what you have written, it sounds like you are attempting to insult and goad me into conflict with you, yet I know nothing of who you are. I never claimed to be anything, yet you speak is if you have some sort of authority over me. I have never heard of you. For the exercise of it, I will look at your words and dissect what you say. I am a Mechwarrior, not a school teacher. My use of a contraction seems to have sent you into a frenzy. In fact, this is the only issue which you directly challenge me upon, as you have not noted a single statement I have made as being inaccurate.
I will do my best to adapt myself into the role of a school teacher for you.

If you had shown yourself to be of a true Warriors blood I would have congratulated you but you have not, you have failed in a most miserable and pathetic way.
These two sentences should not be one. Your use of punctuation is incorrect.
If you had shown your worth and remained true and pure I would have heralded your insite and your response, but you failed. You speak of Greatness yet you fail to strive for it within yourself and more, you project it unto others with your disgusting words.
Exactly how is it that a person can be true and pure when you have not indicated how I am not. You know nothing of me except for my words defending General Kerensky. Under what authority, scholarly or otherwise, do you grade the level of 'greatness?' I fail to strive for it within myself 'and more,' means exactly what? If you'd ended that sentence with the word 'yourself' you would have made sense. 'And more' should be removed and replaced with 'Additionally' as starting a new sentence with 'and' is poor use of the language. Perhaps you do not speak English as your native tongue? If I were to read that sentence literally, I would read it as your claiming that I have failed to strive to greatness, and I project my failure upon others. To that, I would argue that my arguments have been in defense of General Kerensky's greatness, and not my own. Perhaps you are projecting your inadequacies upon me in hopes of deflecting your shame in yourself?
You, and I will say your name but this once, PEIPER, are not worthy of concideration to enter the trials.
Why preface that you will say something once? That points out an inefficiency in your words. Why not just say, "Peiper, you are...." Also, these trials you speak of: are you suggesting that you have the right to put me upon trial? Lastly, consideration is spelled incorrectly.
You did show potential and were thought of as a Ristar, and for that you shall be directed to a seperate Caste, perhaps the Scientists could use an assistant or better the Labor Caste could use a worker ant but you shall NEVER be a Warrior.
By who was I thought of as a so called 'Ristar' and why does my being one give you authority to send me to another caste. Also, this sentence displays another example of poor punctuation. This sentence should be three sentences as it is three complete thoughts.
Your use of a CONTRACTION is Chalcas and makes you no better than a Surat, a Stravag, and a waste. You are cast OUT of your Sibco, return and gather what little you have that matters to you and report to your new Caste, you are finished here.
I suspect if chalcas, surat, sibco, and stravag were really words, they would not be capitalized. Again, the final sentence of your baseless criticisms should be divided into three sentences, as they are three complete and separate thoughts.
_______________________________
Now, if I felt you were worthy, I would refute your judgement and challenge you to back up your insults with some sort of 'trial,' as you have alluded to. However, if you first attempted to put me down for my use of grammar, having an even poorer grasp of it's use than I do, you are obviously an imbecile and to waste my time. It would be unfair of me to fight a person who rants, raves, and judges another without the reasoning or evidence to back it up. You defeat yourself by first putting pen to the paper. As an illustration of striving to be a better man, and a forgiving person, I have responded to your challenge in hopes of being an example of what I speak of in my defense of General Kerensky. Violence should be used as a last resort in the pursuit of freedom, and if you knew who you were attempting to put down or insult, you would not say those words. I would only ask that you never cross my path with any sort of violent intent, as your existence will be ended, and to kill you would be a stain upon my honor, for it is my job as a warrior to protect YOUR freedoms as well as my own. Should you use your freedoms to debase yourself is up to you. If you have some sort of self-awareness, I suggest you spend some time in deep thought before you choose to cast others down, lest someone who is not aware of your intellectual handicaps respond in a less forgiving way.
I extend to you a Rede of Forgiveness. Do not put me in a position to do so again.
End of reply.

It has been a while since I went all Clan like (17 years-ish), had to stop and think about it. I believe I got it right.

Hi Randalf,
I even checked for contradictions in both my writings! lol. Good catch. I am also roleplaying as if I am a Clanner stranded in the inner-sphere. I do my best to avoid using clan-only words and expressions, though if I slip up (-seyla), it is usually intentional, as a person who grew up one way when placed in a completely different society, will have trouble adjusting. What one once took for granted in one culture is not necessarily similar in another. My bothering to defend myself against you shows an inability to stand down from a challenge, even if, as I have so verbosely proven, I should of. (Gotta love the juxtaposition!)
The only word that you used that didn't fit was Chalcas, which is generally seen as a challenge to the clan caste system. (Wolf Clan sourcebook, p. 124) The use of contradictions can be seen as rude and/or sloppy speech from one clanner to another, but calling out someone one slip up sounds a little over the top. Typically, in the fluff, the reaction is a 'cringe.'
And Randalf, I'm just playing roleplaying out my character to the hilt. I do have a poor habit of typing walls of text, but I have nothing against you or anyone else, and I know you're having fun with me too. I notice Alexander Johannisburg deleted something he'd typed, and though I didn't see what he typed, I fear that he or someone else might take what I say personally, and that is not my intent. Those who know the player behind the character
Peiper know I'm about as laid back as they get!
Peace out, yo!
