You would seriously bully a mean teacher's kid to get back at them? Not only is that unjust it's also heartless. You hate the individual, not anyone related to them. Now if it were something along the lines of "Torygg was also bullying Ulfric" then I would find it a bit more believable, but since he wasn't it's not.

I'm pretty sure that killing the High King by simply killing him in a truly honorable duel would've made the Empire realize that Ulfric was a problem and would've gotten his point across quite clearly anyway. So as I said before the shout was uncalled for.

You say that because Ulfric covets the throne that he is a good leader. Unless you can come up with a better reason that I am capable of actually believing then I still don't think Ulfric would make a good High King. None of the other Jarls are stepping up to take the spot because for one it would be very innappropriate considering that the High King's widow was left alive and with rule of Solitude, and two because it would basically be painting a bulls-eye on their back for Ulfric to kill them as well.

How do you know for a fact that Elisif wouldn't do anything about Skyrim's problems? Just because she's inexperienced doesn't mean she won't attempt to do anything to solve any problems and even if she doesn't know what to do that's why she has the entire council to act as her advisors until she is ready to stand completely on her own.

Lastly, what about the subject of the duel? I'm pretty sure that if I invited you to a duel at the top of the Throat of the World and then when you got there expecting a fair duel I simply said "F**k you" and then FUS RO DA-ed you off the edge of the mountain without giving you a chance to fight back I'm pretty sure that you'd not only think it unfair you'd also be pretty pissed off about it for the few seconds or so of life time you had left, I know I would.
