No, I will not "tone down" the length of my responses. As there should be no reason to have an issue responding to them. And yes, I'm neutral, but I'm against the Dominion and from my view the Empire is the only one who has a chance against them. If there was no threat of the Dominion, I'd be all for Skyrim's independence.

It's still pretty funny though that in the past you've bashed things about the Empire as propaganda and embellishing information to benefit them, yet for some reason you still continue to push that the book "Great War" is neither of these and take it as pure 100% fact. I'm sorry, but that doesn't make any sense. As well, I don't need proof that is biased, the Empire is very well known for embellishing information to make the Empire look better. So until a more unbiased or more information comes out about it, I'm not willing to take the word of a single Legate who is or was very loyal to the Empire at the time he wrote the book.

And as I've repeatedly pointed out, your entire argument is based on speculation and biased information. Yet you continue to push the same talking points despite never presenting an ounce of proof to support it, yet demand others to present it.

Yes, in a classic medieval kingdom or empire, they have secret police forces. The Blades used to be the Empires secret police, and were well known for assassinating those who got on the bad of the Emperor/Empress. So if you have an issue with what the Penitus Occulatus does behind the scenes, then there is no way you can support the Blades either. But you think Ulfric is going to be any different? If he views someone as a threat to him or his kingdom, or just doesn't like what that person says about him/his kingdom, he'll have whoever that person is executed too.
