Oh, gee. Give them some credit. It takes talent to be able to bring forth such propaganda on a daily basis and then actually believe it. No, that takes a certain amount of talent. I will give Omni kudos for that.
As for the rest, well...am I supposed to care about how OT thinks about the CoT and how it works? Nope. I don't give a fat rat's ass about how they think we should be operating. As I recall, the Clans are autonomous and were given that by WHOM? Come on now...you can do it. Say it. Get the Space Lawyer out here to help. And it is CLANS, not CLAN. Not one entity. Many of them.
We don't conform to the OT way of working. Sorry. You want peace from the mess YOU MADE? Come deal with the CLANS. All of us. If you think that some are at cross purposes, you just might be right. Boy, you know, I bet none of your instructors back in Diplomacy 101 might have told you that this business might be a little confusing sometimes. You are all SO put off by the fact that we don't have 1 person sent out there to deal with your 1 person, like a nice game of chess, perhaps? Ross and Curly Neal can do it, but I think things are a bit more sticky here in Clan Land. Deal with it. Get out your books, and start writing things down. Maybe it's going to be more difficult to make peace with a lot of tribes (which is what the Clans are in a nutshell). What makes your form of association any better than ours? Nothing, that's what.
So just can it with the CoT criticism. We don't care if you don't like how we in the Clans are organized. We will organize as we see fit to organize. When the CoT thinks Omni is actually INTERESTED in peace, then perhaps the initial consultations can begin for the start of bilateral negotiations in a neutral territory. Until then...feh. We care what you think...not.
