[quote=@Foster] [@The book of bad juju] Quoting of others to say something that has already been said is sometimes done for poetic, or rather [i]a e s t h e t i c[/i] reasons, and usually does not imply cowardice in the slightest. -What it [i]does[/i] intone, is that such a view is shared by another, more highly regarded individual. Not a bad thing to do in a persuasive speech. Anyways, thanks for your concern, but I think we've got things hashed-out to a peaceable series of agreements. I have a feeling that if our characters are even half as passionate of their views ICly as we are OOCly, some interesting sparks are going to fly in the dialouge. [i]Because 'Merricuh[/i]. -Pretty much a firm believer that the strength of any RP lies in the energy behind character-interactions. /tsundere mode [/quote] I agree with all of this, so I don't really feel like a "coward" for just quoting it and liking it, instead of attempting to write an inferior version which just regurgitates the same ideas.
