Everything progresses with Tav as proxy, and yet if this were a novel, you could erase every reference to Tav and the story wouldn't be any different.

Okay, you just caught me before I logged off smile.

I can sympathise with this view, and I know you’re far from alone. I was just getting grumpy after my earlier post about the fact we seemed to be stuck at an impasse about people continuing to talk about facts and truths as opposed to views. I mean, obviously we all know that actually we’re right, but it usually makes for a more constructive discussion if we at least pretend others’ perspectives have some merit biggrin.

I’ve already said my two penn’orth about the story and party dynamic in this thread so I won’t repeat my position but, having poured oil on troubled fire, I really will ban myself from it now.
