@Corwyn: This is an issue that comes up all the time, on every island, on a regular basis. The fact that this was a message in Sirion that started it this time is really irrelevant. This isn't about Sirion, or about any one single incident. It's about addressing the issue in general, game-wide. A significant portion of the players in this game really don't understand the difference that is being modeled by the game. Personally, I think it's a combination of the modern viewpoint on equality, as well as the fact that advies are other players.
Let's face it, players that won't give a second thought to charging into battle against a 500-peasant mob and make jokes about it being training to help raise your unit's cohesion, or routinely order their men to pillage/maraud or KRB, will go into apoplectic fits when you try and assert that adventurers are not equal to to nobles.
