I'm not even going to try to touch any of the comments you've made regarding Logan and/or his character (I'll let him do that).

I will however comment on the following statement you made:
>Perhaps you have forgotten the other part of the same conversation
>you had with me? It also involved your plan (I didn't ask about
>this either) to take Sacred Stone Canton out of the Barony of Sacred
>Stone, unite it with Tridrochaid (Three Bridges, south of you in SC),
>and to take our WH canton to the Southwest and join them into a new
>barony. ONLY you said YOU KNEW YOU DIDN'T WANT THE ONE with ANTON in it.
>Well the canton that -was- there is the one with ANTON in it. It's
>still a part of the Barony, but not a Canton anymore. Don't you like
>Anton either? Or have you worn your welcome out of a large part of

>it was you said approached you about this from WH you couldn't
>recall anyone by name. (You sure were full of news I didn't ask about.)
>But Mistress Francesca, our seneschal of the time, should remember me
>telling her about that part of the conversation a few minutes later.
>Her reply was "Well, he'll have to ask."
>That didn't work out did it? Sacred Stone has a different name.
>That's all. I thought the older one was much prettier.

Speaking as the former Seneschal of the Canton of the Guardians of the Sacred Stone/Charlesbury Crossing during the time in question...  the original idea for our Canton to become a Shire was conceived by myself and several other members of the group at that time (Logan was not one of them - actually he found out with the rest of the Canton 2 months after our first conversation).  And notice I said Shire.  We actually had no intention to try to petition to become a Barony (that suggestion was made by TE at the time, Duncan and Emer).  Our Canton had/has many reasons why we believe that we should be a Shire and I can assure you that none of them involve any sort of "plan" of Logan's.  Once the concept of becoming a Barony was introduced we did indeed consider the former Canton of Tridrochaid (they had already disbanded at that time) since a majority of their members had played with our Canton before they decided to form their own Canton.  We also considered land in the southwest corner of WH since we were told by Corwyn that there were no Cantons there and it was simply Baronial lands.  We figured if we were going to try to become a Barony (at some point) that we should have some sort of significant land area to support that.  We never considered taking any established groups from WH.  The only comment regarding Anton was a joke made by Logan for us to claim all the zip codes that made a straight line to his house so we could annex him.  And no, our petition to become a Shire didn't go through.  It was a very close decision but was ultimately declined because people who had not actively participated with the local Canton in years (at least the 5 since I had been playing) but lived within our geographically boundaries decided to all of a sudden stand up and be vocal.  Strangely enough, we haven't seen any of them since.  But I digress...  Sacred Stone does not have a different name - the former Guardians of the Sacred Stone does.  And, for the record, we all like the new name much better (not to mention the new her
