In one instance (we'll call it situation A), we have an actual joke taken out of context because the mother of the person insulted is truly sick in RL. Sad as it is, it doesn't mean the intent of the joke was as dastardly as was projected by the offended party. But, because emotions are running high, things are blown out of proportion.
In another instance (we'll call it situation B), a government member of a larger alliance went and requested a known rogue to attack the leader of another alliance. Once confronted, said government member calls it a joke, although logs say differently.
In situation (A), the offending party was willing to eat their pride and apologize for something, that well, shouldn't really have to be apologized for. In situation (B), the offending party calls it a joke, and instead of the leaders of the alliance forcing their gov member to just apologize to de-escalate the issue, they call it a joke as well and refuse to make their gov member admit their wrongdoing.
Two similar issues handled in very different ways. But on both occasions, true colors are shown. I guess since it's summer, a war will be started, whether reasons are solid or not. Although I'm sure if nothing pops up soon, some raiding alliance (GOONS?) will finally go after the wrong nations/alliance and trigger the war that everyone is awaiting.
Oh the happy days of summer are here.
