RE: Appeal to the mods
Ever heard of the island of Melos? It was an island settlement during a war between the Spartans and Athenians. Melos was peaceful and had almost nothing to with the war, except for the fact that it was ruled by Sparta. The Athenians sailed to Sparta and demanded that the people there thrown down arms and give them their goods. The Melians came out and told them that they had nothing to do with the war, that they were peace loving. They told the Athenians that they had no right to take their goods. The Athenians responded like this :
"It doesn't matter, you're supporters of our enemies and simply add to their strength. You cannot claim that you have nothing to do with the war and that you simply want to be left alone when you do have relativity to the war."
I for one am neutral in this cause at the moment. But the raiders have a point, you cannot simply say that you have no right to raid us and that you're innocent when you DO have an effect on the war.
All is fair in love and war, now form a militia and stop crying.
Oh, and I almost forgot the quote from Melos!
"The strong do what they can while the weak and cowardly suffer"
You wot?
