Every time I've seen someone picked on in this game, whether or not the person is a level three basic or a level 50 Veteran Player, I've always stepped in to help them. There are two reasons for this. The first is that I absolutely have no sympathy for those that make fun of others. If I see you making fun of someone, I'll simply crush you with words and send you on your not-so-merry way. I normally am quite compassionate, but I have no tolerance for griefers. The second reason is simply because I care about those that get picked on. I don't like to watch others in pain, and if I can stop it, then I will. I truly wish everyone was like that one pirate that stood up.
Del, good experiment you and Partners are doing. I'd be glad to be a part of it if you want me.
