Welcome back @Alexandreu Soleiglhfred

Quote from: Sir Lüc on Yesterday at 10:54:51 AMI am excited to report that former citizen @Alexandreu Soleiglhfred has applied for a visitor account, which has promptly been granted to him by the Seneschal. Welcome back, Alex!

For those that came later, or weren't close to him, Alex was a citizen from 2009-2019 and was instrumental in the founding of my old (and only) party, the MRPT. More importantly, he was also pretty active in culture and journalism.

Hope you like it here and perhaps decide to stick around!

Welcome back Alexandreu!

Reunision Day Proclamation 2026[/center]

TXEC, par la Graçù da Dïeu, Regeu da Talossa es toct i sieux Bains es Raxhiuns, Regeu da Cézembre, Dómnul Soveran es Prostexheir da Pengöpäts es las Nouăs Falkland, Zefençadeir del Feitz, Micjeu dals Forçuns Armeschti, Viceregeu da Hoxhă es Vicar d'Atatürk

TXEC, by the Grace of God, King of Talossa and of all its Realms and Regions, King of Cézembre, Sovereign Lord and Protector of Pengöpäts and the New Falklands, Defender of the Faith, Leader of the Armed Forces, Viceroy of Hoxha and Vicar of Atatürk, greet the Kingdom and her citizens and Cestours.

WHEREAS, The National Schism of 2004 ended with the Reunision of the Republic fourteen years ago today;

WHEREAS celebrations are something that Talossa does pretty well;

WHEREAS, any reason to celebrate is a good thing and Reunision is a pretty good reason to celebrate as on this day the eight year schism was ended;

THEREFORE,

A period of national celebration is declared, lasting from 12:00 am to 12:00 pm on April 20, 2026, Reunision Day.

Given under Our hand Royal at the city of Riverside this twentieth day of April, being Reunision Day, in the year of salvation 2026, of the independence of Talossa the forty-seventh, and of Our reign the second.

I love it!

I have apologized for the harm caused by my words. The issue is not the behavior which has been apologized for and has not continued. It is the perception that that apology wa insufficient and the subsequent public political campaign that has followed.

I will continue to behave as a good citizen despite this campaign.

No-one is suggesting that Breneir has committed any crime under Talossan or other law. If he had, we would have taken him to Cort. I think Glüc explained it perfectly in grown-up terms. But if you want it explained in ten-year-old terms: he said something creepy that upset our friend. Our friend's still upset about that. We don't see why we have to play nice with him if he doesn't make it right with our friend.

One of the problems with dealing with vesneir behaviour (and I should explain here, "vesneir" is the Talossan word for asshole) is that it can be very upsetting and annoying and deserve sanction, but not be a crime. The threshold for criminalizing behaviour should be very high. The proper response to criminal behaviour is the Law. The proper response to non-criminal vesneir behaviour is informal social responses such as social pressure, shunning, etc.

These are necessary and healthy ways of keeping a community safe. You've got to confront bad behaviour even if it's not a crime. And can I just give @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu deserved credit, here because I think it was his idea to put up a non-binding resolution to the Ziu that we could simply point at to indicate why Breneir is a nuisance and should be excluded from polite company until he changes his ways.

I believe Breneir can change his ways. All he has to do is to apologize to Lüc in a way that Lüc accepts, and this ends.
