First off I want to say I am purely playing devils advocate.

I would have objected before, but having seen the RP, posted to all of 
Perdan (which is a realm with younger players, at least in the past), unlike 
the RP by Sorcha implicating rape, this one was more explicit, and certainly 
not tasteful.

I do believe you should have the freedom to RP though.

I believe this is more a case of "not to disagree is to agree" and so the 
person got punished.

I doubt if the second LB was a reasoned out thought process, more Tom 
wanting to bolt someone, and since he's only on one island, and can't bolt 
the player, he shot the messenger.

Also, I don't know if the LB was a kill or a serious wound, but either way 
the player has apparently said they will leave the game.

But unless Tom clarifies what he's doing and why he's doing it, we really 
don't know. I don't know that it is worth letting the bugs that make the LBs 
useless take lesser priority over the actual bolting.

The Internet is truly a wealth of exotic and meaningful information. Each 
new nugget of knowledge it brings to me makes me a little bit stupider.
