See, interestingly enough, what I learned from Obama was that if you take the time to try to set right a juicy allegation, all you wind up doing is giving the rumor mill some free spins at your own expense.
Or, as a congressman once put it, "If you're explaining, you're losing."
Well, I was specifically thinking about the time Obama was asked at a town-hall meeting if his healthcare plan included choosing when and how to execute the elderly, to which he responded with something along the lines of:
"The government simply does not have the resources to visit the houses of every elderly person and choose how they should die."
. . .and he left it at that
I thought it was hilarious, but I'm not sure it worked for him.
Edit: Hey, tirn, do you know who ended up with that Mithril? Aldric . . . because he ganked you. Do you know what Aldric did with that mithril? He gave it to Zellidon (before you even started whining about it). Do you know who kept that mithril? Zellidon. Do you know who never saw one piece of that mithril? Dago. Do you know who I have absolutely no OOC contact with? Zellidon's player.
