[network] @frfujimoto; evening 94 [video]

[lionson]

[He was originally going to post this in the morning, but he decided to give everyone a full day to cool off from the argument before saying anything. It also gave him more time to think about what needed to be said.

So that evening, not long after the doors close for the night, a video from Shiro goes up.]

Did everyone have time to cool their heels a bit? I hope so, because we need clear minds to discuss something important.

That whole mess, with the drugs and the stealing and the dying? That's exactly the kind of thing we do NOT need to waste time on. I'm not even going to go into the details of just how much time and effort we lost because half-a-dozen of you decided that getting back at one-another was more important than finding a way out of here. Just know that I am using my 'disappointed voice' just for you, because of it.

[Which he is. He so is. He's a father in many ways, he has perfected that guilt trip.]

But we're going to put that in the past now, and move forward from here. And in moving forward, I think we need to all agree on a few baseline rules, to keep this kind of thing from happening again. We don't need a whole constitution and laws and shit, but just a few guidelines to keep things running smoothly.

I, personally, am a fan of 'no stealing', 'no killing', and 'don't be an asshole with the limited resources'. Any thoughts?

NO U

Of course, I forgot. When I try to stop someone from doing harm to my friend, in a way even he agrees is fair enough, it's very bad and wrong. But when a committee of you make up some rules to tell uninvolved people what to do, and send someone else to do the dirty work of enforcing them, that's what we call justice.

NO U

[lionson]

One, I never sent someone else to do enforcing. I wouldn't bring up the subject if I wasn't willing to be part of the solution.

Two, you locked a child in a bathroom and he had to listen while you beat the shit out of a man that he adored.

Twice.

Collateral damage is a real thing and that is what I am trying to avoid here.

Such mature. Very adults.

[bookofnope]

Have you considered not allowing those children you're so concerned about to get into the company of people who are likely to get the shit beaten out of them? Collateral damage tends to happens in a specific radius.

wow such grownup

[lionson]

He isn't there NOW so that won't be a problem in the future.
Doesn't make it any less of a problem.

[bookofnope]

On the contrary, to me it sounds like the only logical solution. Get better at looking after your own. You can't do much about the rest of us anyway.

[lionson]

I haven't lost faith in everyone here yet.
If someone puts out a call for help, I'm going to answer it.
So sorry, I'm not going to stick to 'looking after my own'.

[bookofnope]

You don't need rules to do that. You only need them as an excuse to claim to help where you weren't called.

not here
