While what you say is, strictly speaking, correct you must not deny that the Sentinels presense in Tir AND their attitude toward Neutrals in general has drastically escalated tensions and outright fighting where it did NOT exist before. I might also add that it promoted fighting between the moderate Clans and the Sentinels also due to their hijaking of an entire city.
And Silverstone keeps both out of Tir by his own decision independent of what the rest of the Clans might have wanted...forcing his ill will toward the neutrals on the rest of us. I fail to see how this makes him anything other than a thug....

Fixerben, personally I wouldn't shoot a neutral unless fired upon first. But, what makes neutral persons different than Omni? Neither support our cause, and one might be more friend than foe. However, this is not about friendship, but politics. As stated, neither support our cause so Silverstone keeps both out of Tir.
Here's a perfect example of you incorrectly stating facts.
More accuractly, Silverstone obtained, I'm not denying illegally, mining technology to assist clans in building and running their own mining facilities. At no point did Silverstone state, or suggest, that clans should remove neutral and/or Omni facilities by all out war. Actions taken against neutral and/or Omni facilities have been, and are being done so, by the choice of individuals and/or organizations. So, blame those individuals and/org organizations for being the "biggest contributors" to the Notum Wars that chose to fight.
Fighting, and other conflicts, continued despite the cease fire, which played in part to the cease fire being removed.
The Sentinels do not promote, or cause, people to fight. We know this because people fought before the Sentinels were around. When the Sentinels sat quietly in Mort people fought. Now that the Sentinels stand in Tir people fight. Nice of you to try and pin this on the Sentinels, but as you can cleary see, and as I've stated, people have, and will, fight regardless.
