With respect to the feelings of a few hostile comrades, I am with Abysseria in his philosophy of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Not to mention the fact that I believe Midatlantia is wholly in the right in this situation. Such systematic censorship is an abomination and the pinnacle of hypocrisy coming from the North Pacific. Midatlantia is a very articulate and educated player (whose well-written posts belie his age), and well-reasoned criticisms should be open for public debate. And despite popular misconception, the NPO will never censor intelligent criticisms, should anyone think my previous statement hypocritical. Hell, sometimes, as in the case of Gettersburg, we actually let the horrible, straining-to-read, childish criticisms stay, just for a laugh. (Gettersburg actually deleted many of his old posts on this board; guess we finally ridiculed a sense of shame into him ) (And if I may digress once more on the subject of age, I didn't appreciate Lactating Nuns' comment belittling this player for his age. If anything, the NPO is a meritocracy which bases individual value solely on ability, regardless of age, sex, race, etc., and should not let discriminatory feelings inhibit proper assessment of a player.)
Back onto the subject at hand, I'm not sure everybody quite realizes the significance of this scandal in the North Pacific and its relation to us. The North Pacific has been the biggest anti-NPO force in NationStates since the effective dissolution of the PA. For anyone who hasn't really been paying attention to the international scene, merely read the North Pacific's world factbook entry or briefly check out some of the threads on their forum about us. It is certainly in our best interest to support Midatlantia in his quest to retaliate against the warmongering and hypocrisy of the North Pacific administration.
As it happens, this scandal is going to cost The Twoslit Experiment his delegacy, as he has dipped by well over a hundred endorsements in the last two weeks alone, and will shortly be replaced by Wilkshire as delegate. Twoshits has also caused Nastic, longest standing former delegate of the North Pacific and one of the oldest nations in the region, to leave the region in protest. Clearly TTE is reaping the whirlwind for his treachery and is having his world collapse around him; and quite deservingly. I commend Midatlantia in his efforts to expunge the corrupt North Pacific regime, and I wish him to know that we stand by his side, ready to help deliver the ultimate coup de grace when the time is ripe.
