Exactly, and we all know that's what he meant.
I have no vested interest in protecting Nihil. I don't know him whatsoever and he's not part of my party or coalition. I just call out an injustice when I see it.

I second that motion.

I'm aware how the vernacular term is used. I was referring to the literal meanings that inform it. It doesn't really have any meaning without being informed by the concept of someone suffering the consequences of rape, now does it?
OOC: And Jesus F. Christ, it's a warning in a minigame. I really, really wish that were the only consequence of this fiasco for me. Though I wish you no ill will, at this point I wish you could have a taste of the excruciating pain so you understood what I was talking about. I have appointments today and a million other things to do and they're all going to be done half-assed because of this thing that happened in the place where I come to play. Nihl was harassing me about it, and while I didn't and wouldn't have reported him (I've been well trained), I'm not shedding any tears about his little warning either.
Do you know how fast I would trade this pain for a warning in a minigame? Jeez, talk about mountains and molehills.
