This cycle can easily be broken at any time by stopping further abuse. Obviously, 
the original comment did not apply to you as I'm well aware that you know what 
power can do to people.

I'm not sure who you have in mind but there's always some self-appointed thought 
police officer out there anxious to score another kill (plus extra village status 
points) as part of an ongoing campaign to ensure compatibility with current group 
beliefs.

It's really true, and I wish I had known this 6 years ago, that it's a bad idea to 
blaspheme publicly without a nick name. It's not safe and probably never will be. 
Poor Nikolas Lloyd. Let's hope that was his nick name. :)
