Sigrun Vapneir Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Well Schatt, for whatever it's worth, here's my opinion. First, their use of the term neutral was not wrong. Neutral can have several meanings, ranging from capital N NEUTRAL like the GPA, down to the normal everyday weak neutral which just means not involved in the war. And to the best of my knowledge that latter meaning was accurate - TFE had not declared war, had not attacked, were not planning to do any of that. They were just plodding along doing their tech-deals, a "neutral third party" in the weakest sense of the phrase. I disagree with you to the extent you assert that anyone has any obligation to cease trading activities for wartime. I know it's been more-or-less the custom for ages and ages, but so what? It's a very bad habit from the bad old days and it needs to be shed for the good of the planet. And it was never such a strong precedent to begin with, frankly. Even back in those days a lot of trading still went on during wartime, it was always fine as long as you weren't dealing with someone on Pacificas bad side anyhow. That said, we all know ODN was trying to pull the same maneuver at that time, so I can't really fault you for trying. And I didnt see anything from you that merits an apology, really. The response you got from TFE should be sufficient - you tried, they didnt buy it, end of story. Demands that you apologise strike me as pointless and petty. Now I dont know specifics, nor do I really care, but I understand that ODN actually managed to bully some poor sap into paying them "reparations" for a tech deal with another of their opponents about the time this was happening with you. So if they keep pressing for an apology, you should probably look into that and see if ODN is willing to apologise to whomever that was and return their "reps" as well. If they won't do that then they clearly have no reason to demand an apology for what you did. ODNs internal problems arent really my concern or business, so I almost dont want to comment on the rest of it. But I read it and laughed. I appreciate the laughs, and I have to say I am glad to see that "This Week in Productions" is still alive and capable of putting out a post now and then. Bob needs more like this (and you know I say that as someone who probably only agrees with you about half of the time. I appreciate how much you contribute, even when I think you are wrong.)
