Maybe it's not a big deal to leadership but I think letting a really powerful member mercilessly mug a faction-mate is undignified, even if the victim is willing to tolerate it. It goes against the ethos of faction members having each others' backs.
I also think spending a ton of money DBing an entire faction just to retaliate against 1 person is unwise - it wastes resources and needlessly risks creating bad blood with another faction that has nothing to do with our internal problems.
A faction that can't keep its own house in order and gets their shit all over everyone else just looks bad. I have reservations about going in this direction.
Great trader - always fair, helpful and kind. I've been going to ladymeba since I started on Torn and am a loyal customer. There's no need to go to anyone else.
I'm a new player and, quite apart from being a trader with fair prices, ladymeba is one of the nicest and and most patient players I've met. That counts for a lot when you're still trying to figure things out on this game. I won't be trading with anyone else.
