[quote=@Letter Bee] That was a successful attempt at lightening the mood. Either way, escalation over; I will admit that my threat to bring in the mods over perceived bullying was a mistake, and I am sorry. That said, I will continue to stand by my statements that I am following IRL history as well, and that as long as I don't try gobbling up the Ottomans [i]again[/i], I do have a free-ish hand. Add that to the fact that Pagemaster, instead of saying "we [i]might[/i] bombard you if you become too strong; here are ways to de-escalate without invalidating your nation idea", jumped straight to bombardment, and you can see how I felt bullied.
