Of course not. The dicussion was far too interesting to stop where we were.

Well, I was referring to lmp's point about cursing and cleaning up orcish language.
But it extends to moral choice as well, I think. I suppose getting into that knotty point about the orcs might have loosened the rather clear cut roles they play throughout the Legendarium as out and out 'baddies.' Not sure where I'm going with this line of thought, though. I'm working on running out the door to go to a meeting and can't attend to it properly just now. More later...
