Would You Consider This A Backstab?

Ya know, the greatest way to start a war you didn't "want" is to create something of a diplomatic blunder...

I didn't mean to close that warp point that is integral to you and your ally combined defense against an agressor freely passing through my territoy.

I didn't mean to leave 100 warships over your strategic choke-point defending your space.

It's all a mistake... oops, I did it again. Sorry. "Oh, that wasn't me that canceled the treaty- I missed my turn, it was the AI. Sorry for glassing those planets.

Here is the rather telling part, no?

Having said this, I am pretty nervous about becoming a highway for maruading fleets to go through to pound their enemies, and I presume that my allies don't want me sitting on the fence while they are in a war. So, I don't preclude future combatoperations to support my allies.

Very honorable. I suggest the interested parties find out who exactly he is reffering to as being an "ally".

Sorry to chime in, but it's interesting watch the fireworks... good luck all.
