Hate to put it this way but, you aren't my WoL. You can hesitate, you can fear for a friends life. I would actually prefer not to lose another one if it were in my power to do so. It most definitely was.
Sorry not sorry. Look at what happened because of our scripted ineptitude. Can you honestly say it was the right choice?
I'd rather have done something other than what we did do by standing there. You hesitate, people die or worse. We got the worse.
"To ignore the plight of those one might conceivably save is not wisdom - it is indolence. We must all protect that which we hold dear in the manner of our own choosing..." - Louisoix Leveilleur, a good friend my WoL actually met. He didn't hesitate either.
