Makedonios visibly relaxs a bit.

If I get visibly upset, it is because so many lives are at stake for what I perceive to be petty reasons.

What I still do not understand is how can the same people that lambasted Hypatios for breaking the law, act so seemingly unconcerned when the Caesar breaks an even more sacred law.

Many of you ignored the moral and religious implications of Hypatios's actions and assaulted him on the sole basis that he willingly broke an Edict.

And now some of those same people defend the Caesar willing and knowingly breaking a Rule.

Can you see where I perceive hypocrisy?

If either of you can explain your contradictions, it would be most helpful.
