I think we should publish this "combatant"'s name and ask them a

though so that he won't be able to put up a defense to your charges.

***That's right people.  Get real.  This man obviously wasn't shooting at 
anyone but the unhelmeted guy on the fighting feild.  Can't you people see 
that! And he was trying to kill him too!  Luckily he failed.  Syr Richard, 
have you ever considered joining Gen. Ashcroft in his mundane war on 
terrorism.  He is looking to recruit people such as you.

***actually, the archer was aiming for his left eye.  and he was using a 
laser scope.  Ironic that he hit the guys right eye instead.  Amazing how 
unaccurate those archery contraptions can be sometimes.


Dumb luck, I

***Why? you have all the answers already, as well as the verdict.  I would 
rather the archer talk to those who are conducting a proper investigation 
into the matter and looking into the facts of it.

It

***I'm sorry, but no can do.  Your words require a lot of salt.  BUt you 
know what?  No one has tried to change, modify, or ameliorate to their 
taste, your words to begin with... so why bring that up? I mean, really?  
Oh, but of course, becasue someone has disagreed with you probably makes 
them scum of the earth and worthy of preemptive vitriol.

"No one expects Sir Richard!" bwahahahahahaha
folks on the list, I apoligize for the any remarks in my response that cause 
grief or do harm to those involved in the incident at North Oaken War 
Manuevers, but the pompous hot-headed tunnel vision of Syr Richards 
responses enrages me and I feel compelled to respond.  I will not bother you 
again.
yours,
lelurker (btw, I'm not a combat archer)
