My Dear Sidartha,
What am I to do with you? You hide along the trail of words and lay pointless ambushes, indeed they are but one-liners for the most part. If you really wish to dispute me then by all means do. I welcome your insights, and while I may chose to disregard them or skew you with a word or two I do read what you have to say.
So, come out of the rhetorical weeds and join the conversation.
By the way, you are incorrect in your statement. The words I write are based on the words others have wrote or spoke. You know, or should know my disposition and I am true to mine. Perhaps you have a problem recognizing sarcasm, irony, etc.?
Your humble servant,
Andrew Pyre

My Dear Father Leo Caius Casius Pride,
Your first statement is incorrect and a rather sophmoric attempt at that. Why someone writes something is all-important, and that is the motivation. The words express that motivation. Without motivation who would write at all? Please try again.
The statement to Capt. Morgan who I believe is a self-confessed pirate was really rather tame I had thought. It was her thug Cassius that attempted to assault me at the close of the challenge match and since he is her puppet she bears the responsibility in my eyes.
As far as whether you meant to insult me or not is irrelevant. You are, and you may correct me in this, related to Cas. As such I would expect you to come to his defense and by extension the defense of his friends. Thusly I am not at all insulted as your behavior was expected and predictable.
Your humble servant,
Andrew Pyre

This is very possible, but only in the very broadest senses. You see, there are really not that many surnames to go around in Latin. In fact, there aren't that many names to go around in Latin period. Certain family names are very common because a family was very rich and powerful and had a lot of slaves and servants. When those slaves and servants were freed they took the name of their ex-master as a sign of gratitude. While I am not saying that
either Leo Pride or Gaius Maximus is the descendant of a slave, I am saying it would be very easy for them to have the same surname of 'Cassius' and still not be related.
Likewise, knowing the labrynthine construction of the old Roman family trees, it is very possible that their relationship is only the most distant and neither one is aware of it or cares about it. When relationships acquire a certain amount of distance from one another, they tend to lose meaning to certain branches of the families over the years.
Then again, they easily could have been separated at birth and we just don't know it.

Mister Pyre.
There you go again... taking insignifigant incidents and comments and making them seem to be key factors in some war against yourself and "those you support".
With each post you make, you prove yourself to be less of a man and more of a babbling brook.
If you take insult from my words then all well and good, you are meant to.
If you wish to address this insult, then you shall meet the point of my blade.
Unless, like others of my detractors, you are too cowardly to face me in the ring.

Far be it from me to cause you distress. I will gladly desist from tampering with his parade if he in turn develops better social skills.

My Dear Lady Drake,
Please do not be tiresome. I would gladly meet with you in the ring to settle any dispute after the first person on the list choses to oblige me in that regard. You of course would have to take your place on the list as there are many ahead of you. Currently there a 4 well-qualified people ahead of you and about a half-dozen babbling idiots, who I will push aside in your honor.
I have been consistently supportive of Taylara and Ariadne which I am sure you can verify for yourself. Would that others had a pattern of consistency, but alas I can do little about that.
As far as taking insult from your words why would I do that? For the most part you are an acceptable person so if you really wish to insult me you will have to work a bit harder on it.

Mr. Pyre~
I understand sarcasm and irony perfectly well when used in it's proper form. However, your vague ramblings and disjointed comments would be a task for even the greatest linguist to translate into the proper common parlance.
But, I digress. You claim that your judgments are based simply upon our written and spoken words and yet when we return judgment, we are accused of attempting to lay claim to your innermost thoughts. Is that or is that not being hypocritical?
If you were any sort of an educated man, it would have been clear that my previous missive was not an "ambush" but a direct point of fact. If you disagree, by all means refute my words rather than letting your words meander into nonsensical musings. Direct and to the point, that is all you need to be.
Speaking of education, I believe the word you were looking for was "skewer" (which means to pierce with or as if with a skewer or to criticize or ridicule sharply and effectively), not "skew." You certainly already *do* skew (which means to distort) all of our words quite admirably, sir. Perhaps you should take some time off from your weak attempts at wounding us with your words and retire to RhyDin Towne's library. I am quite certain it has *some*
books on the common tongue.
Good luck in your studies,
~Sidartha Elgarette

My Dear Sidartha,
Your experience with me has force you to actually enter a library? I am honored that my little efforts have had such a profound effect on you. No, you need not thank me, the fact that I have done a public service is in itself honor enough.
I do so enjoy hearing from you. This particular missive of yours is actually legible and coherent and other then the regrettable tendency you have to do a little name-calling a nice missive all in all.

As I have said so many times in the past. If you attack Taylara and Ariadne in word or deed then you are of interest to me. I fail to see anything out of the ordinary about that.

Pyre, just to tell you so you know, because I'm not sure you do...
Most of your ramblings don't make any sense, and you're not very good at what you're attempting to do, whatever the hell that is. You're dumb.
And the responses from jokes like Sidartha keep me laughing. At least you attract morons and keep me balling.
Again, you're dumb, and this post is meaningless. I just wanted to thank you for making yourself, and others look hilariously stupid.

Amusement is where one finds it. I find you moderately amusing generally. The size of your ego is truly remarkable, so much wind and so little effect.

Mister Pyre.
Like the one you claim issues with, your posts again prove to be nothing but rambling name-calling and finger-pointing.
You fail to address the facts, as always... and, like that one, fail to defend yourself with your blade skills.
At least Starfare can cite facts upon occasion. You simply rely upon twisted words and accusations that you fail to back with your own skill, be that skill with words or with a blade.
You are quickly sinking to the point past contempt... where an insult from you will not call for a duel, but instead a public flogging.
