*sigh* I've given up trying to keep up on this thread. But now that we've devolved into genocide and sundering the veil through non-magical means is better for the world, we're back to the old "kill all the mages, weaken the veil and sunder it through nonmagical meas is better for the world and will save us from destruction," and "Umm, no it won't," back to "yes it will because mages cause all the problems in the world."
I've seen this dance with TKS too many times to know he'll ignore all evidence that says otherwise, and then pretend infantcide and genocide are morally acceptable when it comes to the mages and maybe elves, but not anyone else and make that point repeatedly.
As such, I consider this thread driven off the rails and I most likely will not post in this particular thread again unless it gets back on track.
I bid this thread, at least for now or until it's locked, adieu.
