I state right after the first part of what you quote "Operating within the rules, however..." Thus negating any self-contradiction. In other words, I don't like the rule, but if one must use it, what follows is to be considered.
Secondly, I state "Of course, individual gradients of LG behavior may modify this; your milage may vary." ie, one LG paladin or character may see things this way, others may not.
As you style yourself a "pedantic mistress of language" I should think you would not miss such nuances in a text.
That having been said, I agree with you. I mention the reactions of other characters only as one form of indicating how a character may react.
In the D&D style of alignment rules, LG characters are more than a little inflexible: if one interprets law or good in idiosyncratic ways, they are considered not "really" LG. An LG character must uphold law at the expense of good, if a choice must be made, or else how would he differ from an NG or CG character?

Congratulations.. you have just met Illumina. Do not cross her or in ANY WAY dis her,, or you will be banned. The moderators that rule this board genuflect to Illumina,,, and if she wishes you banned,,,,,,, it WILL happen. [/QUOTE]I've had just about enough of this. If you have a problem with me, confront *me* and leave the board at large out of it. I don't know how I've crossed you in the past, but let me set the record straight. I have personally never requested the banning or suspension of another member. Never have, and never will. AND, if you're suspended for flamebating me....
repeatedly at this point... it will also not be because I reported you or called for it. Thank you and enjoy your day.
And if a word you spoke was true, you would have been banned already.
Malthaussen: Someone else accused me of being the overly pedantic mistress of language. I apologize if I was overly rude to you. I have no acceptable excuse for such behavior except for the fact that it hasn't been a very good holiday.
