The footnote to this whole issue is that OOC communication is key. Specially when your character holds any position of civil or military authority. It might be breaking your character to ignore the thieves in the alley, but if you ask them if they are willing to be discovered (and potentially arrested) and their answer is "No, sorry", then you just have to write them off from your micro-canon temporaly. Just as some NPCs are "phased out" to certain characters and not to others, like for example the children that spawn outside the Coffer and Coffin, who are only visible to those with the quest that spawned them, you can consider those people 'phased out' of your micro-canon. They are, as far as you are concerned, not there and, since they are not there, you are not breaking character by ignoring them.
Bob the Bomb has a better question:
- Who said you were implying this thread was derailed or needed removal?
Oh! And another good one, from Molly the Moogle
- Why do you care if people want to keep discussing and exploring this topic, kupo?
If you consider it finished that is very fine. But expecting other people to come to the same conclusion or to not share their opinions on the matter is a bit ridicolous. Instead of grumpily declaring the 'beating of a dead horse' just point out to people that their arguments were already discussed before. No need to be a sarcastic about it or anything, or interrupt the ongoing conversation with a rude "just shut up" post. Instead, why don't you point out why they are being redundant? Then they'll answer back with something relevant, probably arguing why they aren't being redundant, and then you'll answer back and later they will...unless you are scared of getting involved in the discussion, in which case I have to wonder why you got involved anyways.
