Either of you can voluntarily give any explanation, reason or justification for your actions. They do not have to be reasonable, appropriate or even honest. All that really matters is that a player's motives make sense to them.
Concur.
My only additional point I have is if you are going to make a big song and dance about actions taken against you, and you push for diplomacy and reasons, then stick to that. Don't play stupid half-ass games.
If you are looking for diplomacy, than do that.
If you are looking to taunt, then do that.
If you want to whine, then whine.
If you want to tell a story, then tell a story.
Ultimately, no one cares what your reasoning is, but if you provide a reason, stick to it.
However in all of that, don't expect crap to not come your way. Your reasonings don't mean that others have to care about your feelings.
Everytime I post, I more than expect Danik, Stan, Tom, Feniks, etc. to criticize what I say. Annoying as it may be. They can sure as hell do it and to some extent I expect it.
