David Gadbois accuses me of trolling. In a mail which is in terrible contravention of netiquette since it quotes me in my entirety, and yet says nothing about the topic of this maling list.

I disagree. My comments and questions are short because I do not like huge pseudo-academic stuff. I like to say XXX, what do you think? From that responses will be elicited. I find that a perfectly legitimate way to start a discussion. This is a discussion group isn't it, or is just for 4 page essays?

I have posted a longer discussion as to why I think Humakti are outlaws. I also would suggest that some Storm Bulls make themselves outlaws by severibng their clan links, as noted in KoS, a Storm Khan who took on the Lunars was annihilated as was his entire kin, despite having severed his kin links. Making oneself outlaw protects one's clan from one's actions.
