No!
I direct words, I don't know.
I don't care if the author made a game of it.
I don't care if it's fiction.
Lightening up a bit, is not on my list of things to do.
It's nice that you get your entertainment through taunting, rather than enlightening.

While admittedly not all that enlightening, I do offer my opinion in post #43. This opinion was based on Post #39. If you caught the tone of many of the first posts on this thread, we were having a bit of a game with it. Someone even posted/paraphrased Homer Simpson! For some reason, you are offended by my original post. That was not the intent. Again, the tone in the beginning of the thread was a bit more light. This thread has taken on a more serious tone since then.
BTW, I no longer think that fear, self-interest, and honor are the 3 words. I don't know the words either....but I've seen a lot of good speculation and reasoning!
Have a nice day!
