"Damari is right" is a tautology... unless she is not, which would then be an oxymoron... Note : I also am right. ;D

Basically, you are right. The random reason they've found is not good enough. Firstly, you keep saying "you" as if I'm hitting him. I have already explained that I am not, I'm explaining where those who are hitting him are coming from. Pay attention. Secondly, who says a fight cannot be a game? To me, zeroing a ghetto kid will never be a "war." It will never be a serious accomplishment. It is a game. Games can help prepare you for war. But they are still games. Thirdly, if you've been paying attention, the reason people have been jumping in with Alex to hit him, for the most part, is because he has insulted them, or their close friends, or their family members. That in itself seems a decent reason. As for "Because XXX friend hit him"... That is the reason for plenty of attacks (and, of course, I won't bother going into the "not that you really need a reason" tirade - everyone's heard that one enough). If one of my close friends was insulted enough to pick a fight with someone, and I agreed (as most here seem to) that the person doing it deserved to have his ego clipped down, of course I would join in. Hell, isn't that the basis a clan operates on? If, say, the leader of Clan A decides to attack Clan B for crimes against them, the members of Clan A hit the members of Clan B. Why does Clan A hit that person? "Because XXX friend (aka, their leader) hit him."

Disclaimer: Broad generalization approachith
First, I want to make it clear that I don't really care one way or the other about Alexdoh or morph. Most people for that matter. I digress...
I've seen this trend a lot lately. Vamp A attacks Vamp B for whatever reason. Vamp B is a dick and always has been. Vamps C, D, and E have known this long before any Holy Waters flew. But now that Vamp A and some others have jumped on Vamp B, the rest of the alphabet swarms in with whatever reasoning they can come up with. "He insulted me" or whatever.
But I know, and the rest of the Vowel squad know that they would not have raised a single arm if others weren't already jumping on Vamp A.
A spade is a spade and that's that.

Firstly, you keep saying "you" as if I'm hitting him. I have already explained that I am not, I'm explaining where those who are hitting him are coming from. Pay attention. *bows* You are right, by "you" I don't mean You Rena, but rather an undistinctive "you" that would describe those who attack the ghetto slug we're talking about. If you've felt my comments to be targeting you, then it is because I have not been clear enough. My apologies. Secondly, who says a fight cannot be a game? To me, zeroing a ghetto kid will never be a "war." It will never be a serious accomplishment. It is a game. Games can help prepare you for war. But they are still games. Thirdly, if you've been paying attention, the reason people have been jumping in with Alex to hit him, for the most part, is because he has insulted them, or their close friends, or their family members. That in itself seems a decent reason. As for "Because XXX friend hit him"... That is the reason for plenty of attacks (and, of course, I won't bother going into the "not that you really need a reason" tirade - everyone's heard that one enough). If one of my close friends was insulted enough to pick a fight with someone, and I agreed (as most here seem to) that the person doing it deserved to have his ego clipped down, of course I would join in. Hell, isn't that the basis a clan operates on? If, say, the leader of Clan A decides to attack Clan B for crimes against them, the members of Clan A hit the members of Clan B. Why does Clan A hit that person? "Because XXX friend (aka, their leader) hit him." I agree with most that you said, except the clan thing. No clan leader I know of will say "hey, we're hitting A because he's a prick (which happens to be true in the case). This is an open invitation, come join us". What would be said is "Clan A is attacking Clan B, or members XYZ of clan B, because he has a foul mouth", or "because we wanted to". Then, the attack reason for the individual attacker would then be "because my clan/family leader ordered me to." No trace of any invitation for other non-family non-clan pires to join the fray... Regarding this fight, maybe the "open invitation" thing was an attempt at humour, but to me fighing will never be a game, however pleasurable and fun it might be. I know I am too serious, but I do take fighting matters seriously, as most guards do. You are or feel insulted and want to fight along. Fine. Your call. Anyone that has been insulted could and should whack at the foul mouth, of course, and that's probably the case for many of those who fight this battle, but then, it means they have been INVITED into the fight. Still no justification for the "jump into my bandwagon thing", which is what I strongly object against, not the zeroing of someone I don't care about and who clearly lacks much from basic vocabulary to a working brain. Please go on with the zeroing, please entertain us with his drivel, but make it an "invitation only" thing. Once again, the "you" is generic, not targeting anyone specifically. Remember, where I come from, we have an old saying "A vaincre sans péril, on triomphe sans gloire" (little glory you get from easy fights) *bows* Yours.

A fight is no game. You don't play around with weapons. While fighting can be exhilarating, it is not a game. You don't invite someone to a fight as if it were a good game. You might not, but you're not exactly the role model I aspire to, so I'll stick to my games, ta and thanks.

Given who and what he is, I hope one fine night, you up your standards when it comes to a role model.

What? Claiming that he isn't my role model doesn't say anything about who is, so how can you pass judgment?

The same way you passed it on him considering the words you picked. If that was not your intention, then I would suggest that you choose your language more carefully.
But, I'm more than aware that I'm not your role model, either, so don't bother listening to anything I have to say. *wink*
