But that's what some are implying, HEM. Even if they don't say it outright, the posts of some are basically about how newer people have no business deciding about Milograd and his place in this region, just because they weren't there. I find that unacceptable, because we are all citizens, and that's the only should that should matter.

It is one thing to participate in the debate to provide context, and sincerely try to allow everyone reach the best position possible. It is quite another to say that only those who were present at the time of the coup can make the right calls about the course of the region.

Would I be treated the way TAC and others are being treated, if I made the same arguments about Sedgistan? I certainly hope not, because that is not the South Pacific I know, and that is most certainly not the South Pacific I have served for nearly two years now.
