Enablers, bystanders, and officers. Just as bad?

The June Bloodletter from Unknown make me sick. Let me re-word what they are saying concerning Rougiers and forum deletion in a different, fictitious way and see if it makes any sense to you.

(please note that this example is not meant to reflect any actions or thought patterns of real-life governments. It is merely an example to parallel the Forum Destruction Issue.)


The United States President sends a highly qualified top secret agent overseas to Russia to gain vital government intelligence. This agent does his job so well and is so convincing that before long he is given access to the location of Russian nuclear weapons. Obviously this is a severe oversight in Russian security, but then again national security is not always the single most important thing to all countries, although that may be a difficult concept for the United States to grasp.

The agent also gains the information the President requested and sends it back to him, who in turn congratulates the agent on a job well done. The agent then, before leaving Russia to come back home, detonates one of the Russian nuclear bombs in downtown Moscow. Millions die. The damage is irreparable.

The President knows it was his agent that detonated the bomb. The President knows that detonating nuclear weapons is wrong, devastating, and should not be done. Yet the President decides to welcome the agent back with open arms, calling the mission “a complete success”, and then giving the agent a stern talking to about not blowing up any more cities in the future.


WHAT THE HECK??? Put the scumbag on trial for war crimes!! Sever all ties you have with him!!! Ban him for doing such despicable deeds!! This guy needs to realize that what he did is WRONG. Not “Meh, don’t do it again, ok?” Not even “Hey, you really shouldn’t have done that”. Just wrong. And people who do wrong things should be held accountable by those in power. If those in power fail to hold them accountable, then they are merely enabling the wrong things to be done and gotten away with.

That’s my thoughts I had to get off my chest. I really, sincerely hope the higher-ups in Unknown do the right thing.

Their response was disappointing at best.

And the Bloodletter seemed to condemn such action at one moment and then condone and excuse it the next.

I couldn’t read it because the poster couldn’t bother to format it properly.

As someone deeply opposed to forum destruction and in favor of political activity (err… Voicing our opinions politically), I think it would be interesting to consider breaking the embassy with Unknown in protest.

I would like to second that suggestion. I didn’t realize we had an embassy in Unknown, I have never bothered to sign up with their forum.

We should keep their embassy here open as long as they would like it to be though. Otherwise we would just be closing any hope for communication or reconciliation.

We should bring this idea to the Citizen Hotline.

Well at least I assume we have one there. They had one here so I would assume it goes both ways…

I cannot check of course, as an active defender I can’t snoop around a raider board.

Well some of the people there, have deleted forums before this. https://groups.tapatalk-cdn.com/smilies/52127/1536592179.9704-smiley.gif?ttinline=true

:ph43r:

I have gotten word that a fool by the name of Topid is going to attempt to author a WA proposal within the next week to condemn Unknown for the actions of their agent, and was wondering if there was any way to ask the delegate to consider voting early in favor of this action as a statement of TEP’s protest?
