Logic of The Dawnspear

I rarely speak out in forum, let alone public. However this logic adopted by those of Good has left me completely befuddled of late and recent banter lends no answers. 'Any who support our enemies will be cleansed' is what I hear, and what I see is a road leading to every inch of the very realm that you are to be protecting as tinder to your Flame. Valiant, simple, effective and respectable in theory, foolish and excessive in practice.

Consider: a citizen of Ashtan. They are killed as supporting a City which is home to Chaos. They have a dear friend, cityless; one who is close and helps them in their toils. They are 'cleansed' by the Dawnspear as supporting one who supports a city that supports Chaos. That friend has a brother. A brother often supports their own correct? Then they must be slain as well. What of a dear friend of that brother? A best of friends who knows there is no harm in their friendship? Shall they be consdiered as 'turning their back on Creation' for their acts? They did support that one brother, who supported his, and so forth.

Delos. All may seek commerce there. For those of no House or City it is often the only structured choice. We know that 'all' includes those of Chaos, Darkness, Evil, Nature, Good and every other belief in existence. Are all who are affiliated with Delos be at fault? Those of the Dawnspear as well, or shall you simply reduce interactions to your own walls? As the Dawnspear is the home of Good the latter makes sense. After all, any who do not hold citizenship may do as they wish, and will lead to some manner of supporting your enemies.

Then again - your own acts of existence within Creation lend to this indirect support of your enemies. They dwell within, so any acts to improve Creation improve it for them as well. There's also the point of more base 'cleansing' which will, to shorten this inquiry, leave holes in your floor. The forces of your enemies are quite present, in trace, in many aspects of Creation, as are your own. Either side that denies this suffers from delusion. The Human race comes to mind specifically, given their conception, though I will refrain from complicating things further.

All support their enemy in at least some indirect and obscure manner by following this new and all-encompassing logic. I hear quite the pointless banter, political sidestepping, and naysaying as statements are repeated incessently. What I wonder is of the true answers; whether you will or have drawn lines in the stated methodology , complicating it and drawing it from what you state it to be, or perhaps you are either oblivious or uncaring of the ends and will continue along this path.
