From: Colette Meiji He also wasnt short, but of average height.
A badly translated French to English Measurment is the blame for that great rumor. I saw some of his clothing in a Museum in Paris, He wasn't a Tall man, but he was no Midget. he was about 5'6" or 7" By the look of his clothing. On the same trip i saw a suit of Armor Fitted for King Henry the VIII of England, he was a VERY Tall man on top of being heavy (I think the Armorer was currying royal favor however when he created the codpiece  ).

From: Angelique LaFollette He wasn't French, he was a Corsican, a fact that was frequently Disparaged among the Lower ranks of his own Armies. There's that French broad again Angel. True, and Corsica was owned by the Italian city state of Genoa at the time too. He was, however, like most Corsicans, of French descent and a native French speaker. So to all intents and purposes he was French.

Angel. In Henry's youth he was actually supposed to be an athletic man. A leg injury contributed to his weight gain, however (unable to properly excersice) Henry the IV was also quite tall and popular with the ladies - especially married merchant's wives (maybe this belongs on the other thread) He was reportedly at one point ran out of London by jealous husbands. |

Angel. I've seen Henry VIII's armour, and it's nothing compared to the armour made for Sir John of Gaunt - which, if it's accurate, made him about 6'8" - a giant for the time. Infact, Napoleon was taller than Nelson, who's clothes I've also seen and make him about 5'5'. And yes, early portraits of Henry VIII show him to be a bit of a looker. To be fair, the one portrait we have that shows him being a bit podgy was painted when he was in his 60s. Middle-aged spread gets us all. 5'7" would make Napoleon close enough to average for the time to make no real difference. Better nutrition is responsible for the rapid increase in average height over the last 100 years.

From: Reitsuki Kojima To the "You have no right to defend yourself, ever!!!!" crowd: Stuff it.
To the "I shouldn't be punished for shooting griefers!!!!" crowd: Stuff it. What about us in the "You should defend yoruself, but only within the limits of the rules and laws." crowd? *grins* ~Jessy *who has no need to use the orbiter*

From: Colette Meiji I was refering to war and peace.  You left out a lot of drama. Okay I get it. when you comment on something that takes 10 sentences like griefing we getting a book. When You write on "War and Peace", we get a caption. No, seriously. The two words "Napoleon Lost" (together with a title of course) just might constitute the shortest short story ever written. : D. You wanted a short story, remember? |

From: Chaise Seale So let them win, and hope that the Abuse Report actually gets that 1 in 1,000 chance of actually being seen through?
Sure, I'll just let people push me around and use me for their fun, and hope my pathetic squeals will be heard by a 'Deaf Shiny Knight of Blind Justice'. you do know this is a virtual world right? and that the most that can happen is that you get irritated all to hell? yes there are those who use the griefer things to make themselves feel superior, what deflates the hell out of them is not pulling out your toys and fighting back, you see where that got you. but walking away and letting them play with and in thier own poop. this is also startign to smell suspiciously liek one of those "we need our own justice league" things that crop up every three months or so. oh well starts slicing the cheese to go with the various whi..errr i mean wines that are available....

The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

From: Chaise Seale Well, I'm pleased with the outcome of this thread.
It shows that the majority of people are for the 'First come, first assumed guilty' unwritten policy.
And no, what I said didn't happen to me at all, it happened to a friend, but it's nice to hear that there are people out there who follow the flock, it makes me feel happy about myself for being different.
I also hope the majority also see that there's a minority who doesn't agree with their views, rather then them just blindly assuming everyone's on the same morality train.
As I said before, the government and police-force are there because they have the weapons and power to be there. And standardized moralities are there, because there's more people and more power for those.
Everything before this post (because I don't want it too much information to wade through) will be used for an article project for a course I'm doing. Thank you for your input and time, it'll give me something interesting and relating to write about! so your suggestion to the griefing problem is to well become griefers yourselves? yeah...well thought out there. and nice cover story, the its not me its my friend angle, and addign insult to injusry by bringing up iraq. how childish. well i for one hope to see this "article" im sure my Sl parrots can use the liners.
