Liberty Police, Inc. Feedback

[Jonas Valent]

I'd also like to point out that LPI is not a branch of the "Armed Forces of The Republic", while they are part of the "Primary Fleets", they are a civilian law enforcement agency and not a branch of the military.

From the laws of Liberty -
Liberty forces means the Liberty Police Incorporated, the Liberty Navy, and the Liberty Security Force. If you'd like I could also point out dozens more examples of LPI being considered part of the Liberty Armed Forces.

Civilians or not, I consider this argument to be nothing more then [LN] arrogance.

There is absolutely no reason why the opinion of one of my characters (Or anybody else's characters for that matter), and some words that a character used, to have created such an epic crapstorm of a reaction among players out of character. There is no reason for this to have escalated to the point it's at now

This is where you lost me. Though we discussed it in our Skype chat and I did private msg you regarding this(which was mostly to clarify a point in LPI lore) I don't understand how it's created an epic crap storm. Your opinions are your own but as an Admiral you must be aware that opinions of high ranking officers while addressing a faction that has vehemently opposed LPI's existence in the past can be interpreted as more then just an opinion. It's a concern because of who you said it to not so much what you said.

Now as far as taking things ooRP or escalating the situation

I didn't post anything about it on the forums. I haven't gone on any tirades about the evil Liberty Navy. I didn't invade the comm channel. I didn't post in the navy's feedback thread. I intentionally did nothing to escalate this situation. Just like I've avoided public criticism when LN has done other questionable things. (Remember La Mona?)

Chief of LPI or not I will always be fiercely protective of LPI. And if you don't want other agencies reading your mail encrypt your messages. Because LPI considers the Commonwealth of Liberty to be an existential threat to the Republic and we will do everything we can to monitor their activities, their communications, and prevent any cooperation with those terrorists.
