Sir Crazy;

I believe you have taken Anger out of context. That was not anger. It was an attitude of retribution.

And I do not want to kill the assasins. Whoever said that I wished to kill them is wrong, completely wrong. I would just as soon kill an endangered lion. Granted, if that lion tried to bite me, I'd kill it in defence and self preservation, but never kill in cold blood. Tame? Feed? Leave it well enough allone, if possible? Yes. But this particular lion has reared it's ugly head and roared in my face; it seems I cannot leave it allone, and it does not wish to be tamed, nor will feeding it calm the beast that it is. All I can do is stand my ground, prepare for a defence, and hope to the One that rules over all that it decides I am not a particularly delicious morsel today. If it turns to someone else, I will help them defend against it. If it goes away, I will not pursue it. But as long as danger prowls beneath this untamed behemoth that is X, I will stand my ground defiantly, hopeing all the while that there can be some peacefull resolution that is fair and just to all concerned.

And I am not against the X because we are inferior, or because of my ego. Yes, I do have an overactive ego, and is one of my major setbacks in life; but it is not my reason for standing up to these assasins. I would highly doubt that we are in any way inferior to the X, except maybe in skills of subterfuge and killing; which I am quite glat to be inferior of. I stand my ground not because of these two things; not because of evil purposes. I stand up to Evil to maintain what is Good. Their greed drives them to kill for money. Their anger at life in general pushes them to snuff out what we all hold dear. Their jealousy of our enjoyment of life only angers them even more. Their lies that they use to cover their tracks even now burry them in a wave of guilt; and if not, know that you will reap what you sew, feeling guilty or not. Their inferiority over all civilized manner of behavior has pulled them to the depths of dispair where causing others grief is the only way they think that they can regain what happiness they may have lost. Their resentment of this fact only heightens this feeling. But their ego will not let them state this openly; instead, they act in the shadow, mysterious, and maleavolent, waiting for whoever might step into their path, so they may toy with them in whatever manner they seem fit. They are abominations seekign only twisted pleasure in the act of causing death.

Do not toy with the idea that they are in the right. To do so is only to lie to yourself; which is in essence Evil.
