Munk, maybe instead of wasting your time jerking yourself off over this issue on a forum, you should actually go out into the real world and try and convince the people that you intend the subject to this new state of yours to support it. Given that your only valid rebuttal to any of criticisms here is "you're not Northumbrian", have a chat with some actual Northumbrians instead of throwing away your precious time arguing with people whose opinions on this issue you clearly don't intend to take seriously anyway. Who knows, maybe you'll manage to convince a dozen or so people, and in the process double the size of this little liberation campaign of yours.

Do you have any evidence to back up your assertion that Loth is a rapist, or is it just something you conjured from your rear end?
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

Also, the NS stats don't reflect my RL views, just to clarify.

So you interviewed millions of people to see if they want to bring back some random irrelevant long gone medieval kingdom? Impressive.

It seemed like a accusation so reported it.

I mean, what else could it have been but a smear?

He's weird, but he doesn't do non-sequitur.

You confessed to it on an RMB. I'm currently asking a friend for the Pastebin logs.

The entirety of the Northumbrian independence movement seems to amount to a handful of people online saying that Northumbria should be independent. And that's not really going to get anything done.

I am confident the evidence will prove me innocent, for I did no such thing ever.

Though the fact you have pastebin logs makes me awfully suspicious of a setup, but I'll treat it as circumstantially suspicious at best.

If the mods hadn't had to delete all your RMB posts it would be there for all to see.

1. A thousand people out of a million is a tiny minority

2. Anger at Westminster does not prove that Independence is wanted since there is plenty of other political issues to be angry about.

So I repeat once again, your anecdotes does not prove anything.

Northumbria good, Northumbria bad... impossible, ridiculous... or maybe totally groovetastic. I personally don't possess enough information to form an opinion backed up with arguments. Either way, if Northumbria somehow reemerged, it would be interesting to watch, how would the events unfold.
