I don't understand why people post no-context responses to other threads in places other than those threads. If what you have to say is so important that it needs its own OP, at least include enough info so that people who don't live and breathe DU and read every thread have some idea what you're talking about.

But I do know Bravenak's work from past threads. We often disagreed in the primary days, but I respected her posts.
