Editing 2023 War for StuCo (Communist Revolution) (section)

==== Ernest Paul D. Cornejo: ====
"Prior to what Cora had discovered, I was - like several other participants in the war - too emotionally invested into the war. Tbh, it was when I finally lost my steam in an argument that some of the Royalist group members had noticed that the tensions in the war had gone far too high. As Cora had said, when the peace treaty was being drafted, a few of us Anti-Stuco/Pro-Communist members had believed (or hoped) it to be a surrender from the opposite side. Eventually, however, one of the Loyalists - Avi [Reedy] - cleared things up with me in a one-on-one discussion and explained things - that (1) my outburst was wrong, (2) that I (and a few others) were too emotionally invested in the war, and (3) that the war had to end in order to prevent things from getting worse. Eventually, with her convincing, I did calm down and came to accept that the war had indeed gone too far... and Hudson couldn't have agreed more when he explained the treaty to me. 

"I don't think that's actually a surrender. I think that people are getting too involved in this and they want to prevent arguments. I agree. This whole thing got out of hand.." -- Hudson Brott (<u>September 1, 2023</u>)

However, by then, this had left only Elijah Smith holding on to the belief that the peace treaty was a 'surrender'. This then continued on until StuCo officers Cora M. and Jared Lemmon stepped in to shut down the thread permanently. The moment the thread closed, the war ended, and all other amends were made. Thus ended the second of the Hostility Wars"
