You state that these swordsaints are a group of thugs, all through the
post, they are referred to as thugS. Now, after thinking about this for
a time, and speaking to my brother, Dillon, I realise something. We are
not dealing with thugs, we are dealing with one thug, Strung. Who,
despite his unhonourable and despisable techniques, is protecting
innocents. I personally have been against the swordsaints, and I am
still rather confused over this entire issue. On one side, I do not like
seeing newbies slaughtered. On the other, I do not like to see innocents
slaughtered. So I ask two questions, one: You refer to thugs, who are
they? Are there any other than Strung? And if not, why are you blasting
the Swordsaints? Many of them are honourably defending these villiages
My second question is this: If a a person, with intent to murder,
attacks a small child whom he does not know, who has done nothing to
him, how can we falt a Paladin for stopping him? For, in the Light,
should not the guilty die and the innocent live? Or do you think that
simply because the child is unable to defend herself she should fall
prey to pointless murder?
While Strung's actions may result in the death of so called 'newbies'
each one he kills saves multipul innocent lives
