Nice Sidious Send a noteboard - 02/03/2010 04:41:05 PM

I intend to read this fully when I have time.

I don't think people should say that Ishamael was mad or stupid for joining the Dark One before they discover his perspective. If one of the greatest philosophers of our history worshipped the devil, I would be disturbed, but still want to know why.
