You probably don't care about this post. Invite yourself to ignore it
now.

To the Sleuth, especially those who would raise their claws at me for
being a 'traitor',

I would like to point out two undeniable facts, something we can all
agree on.

First, I was removed from your guild. Given that not a single Sleuthmate
spoke to me after the incident, or even when you guys were trying to
decide if it was worthy of the outguilding, I'm fairly certain you were
all of a mind to sever ties with me. It was done. There we go.

Second, I associated with the undead and all that jazz while a Bear.
It's why I was removed. If the Sleuth does not condone that, fine- I
happened to not be a member anymore, so what the Sleuth did and did not
agree to didn't keep me awake at night. The fact that I remained a bear
in skills while doing these things did not seem to stir you too terribly
either. I had class, and you all were ignoring me because the things I
did had nothing to do with you. This was still the case when I joined
the Rout last month. You had all neglected to speak to me still, after
all. I was still none of your business.

You are hunting me because I broke a law that applies to Sleuthmates who
join the Rout. Well, guys, that's all well and good, but I was not a
member of the Sleuth, and have not been for some time. I am free of your
laws because I have not transgressed against your guild.

Why not go kill the people who raided your city or something? There were
quite a few of them, I remember.
