Sorry Artigo, but I have no ill will toward you or any of the Doombirds. When someone says assume when they actually did the act it just appears odd.
In my opinion the application of senatorial sanctions should be consistent. There are countless instances of similar behavior that have not gotten sanctions.
Yes, it is an odd set of circumstances - but those circumstances include, by your account, SPATR accepting him into their alliance while at war with you.
