A response to BenArd

I fail to understand why the 'Republicans' had to rejoin the Kingdom.

The only reason that comes to mind - to destroy the social fabric of the nation and claim it for themselves; and go down in history as the Liberatadors ;)

Your emoticon is noted.  ;-) 

It is also clear you've never read the greatest Witt thread in Talossan history:
https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=810.msg6332#msg6332 in which I describe in full the grievances I have against Herr Lupul, though I have to offer the caveat he never did anything 'bad' to me personally.  Until my welfare-check call to him last October, I had always thought he and I had gotten along reasonably well.

I would suggest to us all to remember in another twenty years' time, there will be no-one in Talossa who will care about any of this.  This is not a bad thing.
