The Atlasian Sentinel

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Anyway, DWTL, I left because I was being attacked for being myself. I just got sick of it, and I just feel more at home in the DA at the moment. Besides, it's not like I'm suddenly going to vote straight JCP or anything like that.

You don't need to defend yourself anymore, your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe you anyway.

You're right.

You're not an enemy. I understand your plight with what happened. There was no reason why it should've been dragged out to the public like it was, and because of that, it wasn't a shock that you did leave. Matters such as yours should have been kept in private.

You were attacked (privately by the way and it was far from an attack) because you were unnecessarily critizing members of our party.  I simply asked you, outside of inflated ego and attention whoring, the matter concerned you in the slighest.  Making friends with people like Lewis and Jas is about the stupidest thing a conservative can do in Atlasia, but if you want to go down that path and leave our party I'm not going to stop you.

This is the language of the playground...

[Vepres]

This is the language of the playground...

Indeed (I'm guilty as well).

@ DWTL:
And, no, it was criticism. Making an entire thread call "Vepres: What the hell is your problem" is not the friendliest action, to put it nicely.

DWTL, is it not attention-whoring (by your logic) when you criticized Antonio in the Northeast assembly thread over the name of region representatives?

[Mechaman]

This is the language of the playground...

Agreed.

[Vepres]

This is the language of the playground...

Agreed.

I will refrain from fighting with DWTL further. You're right.

That thread was created in a private forum, it was pretty much the equivalent of PMing you the same thing.  SPC and the other members of the party fully agreed that was the correct course of action.  I didn't criticize Antonio on that (although he is a fool) I simply that the tradition was there and holding something up on something that simple was absurd.  Plus, if I want to issue a statement against an opposing party as the chair of the party, that's different. 

[Marokai Backbeat]

Only DWTL could believe creating a thread for members of the entire political party to see called "Vepres: What the hell is your problem" is the same as a PM.

[Alexander Hamilton]

The funny stuff was what RowanBrandon said about Vepres, compared to what he did. LOL, what a joke.

I would like to point out that this:

Was my original statement. It was when DWTL started attacking me in public that I retaliated.

It is unfortunate that this was made into a big public story, but so be it. This is the last time I'll publicly comment on this.

[DownWithTheLeft]

You leaving the party was a pretty public action

[Vepres]

You leaving the party was a pretty public action

Yeah, but I didn't say anything about any specific RPP members.

[Sewer]

You leaving the party was a pretty public action

You cant leave a party in privte.

Doesn't matter, I don't let people just leave the party over stupid things and think that is okay with the party.  We helped you get started and you ditched us

[DownWithTheLeft]

I request that the title now be changed to:

"One Senator Returns to RPP, Sorry Excuse for Senator and Insignifigant Governor Stay Gone"

[Rowan]

I request that the title now be changed to:

"One Senator Returns to RPP, Sorry Excuse for Senator and Insignifigant Governor Stay Gone"

LOL. And what political office do you hold again?

Well the poor thing tried for Senator but he just couldn't pull it off.

If anything, my party affiliation was a liability in the Midwest (which is where I've been elected).

Great comeback, I mean I'm only a five-term senator and started the party that got you elected to the senate.  You would never have been a senator without me

Oh how could I ever repay you for your generosity? I am not worthy to stand in your presence.

Perhaps showing an ounce of respect would be a start. Folks like Vepres and mechman had legitimate reasons to leave the party, but you, of all people, did not. The RPP threw their entire machine behind you over a respected Atlasian, SPC, to get you into the Senate only to see you leave for trivial reasons a week later. I don't like DWTL's attack dog style on most cases because I feel it hurts us more than it helps, but, in this case, I have no problem seeing him give you hell.

I respect you and most members of the RPP. I don't respect DWTL.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I think we're using "respected Atlasian" in regards to SPC a little loosely.

I'm pretty sure things would quiet down if you didn't have members out here trying to pretend their vote never occurred or to call former RPP members 'worthless.'

[Antonio the Sixth]

I could never imagine that RPP was such an authoritarian political machine. "You would never be Senator without me", "The political machine was behind you", "You don't respect your party". Switch "party" with "family", and you could have the exact phrasing of the mafia.
Rowan Brandon is a free individual, and people who voted for him voted "Rowan Brandon", not "Regional Protection Party". You don't own his seat, he does, and therefore he is free to do whatever he considers right with his political positions.
