It's been a while since I last commented, so I better add my own personal opinion on something to let you all know I'm still here.
First off, I want to say I understand where both sides are coming from. Star Charter wants the New Appeloosa Law Ponies to forgive and forget about what certain wastelanders did in the past so that society can move forward (or more likely so that Star and her friends can live in peace). Times were tough and wastelanders did what they had to do to survive. This makes sense for the character, considering her rough past and close association to others who also have a rough past. Stopped Clock believes that being complacent was what caused the Wasteland to get as bad as it was and that certain law ponies need to be aggressive against past troublemakers to keep the Wasteland safe (which happens to involve killing). With enough bad wastelanders dealt with consistantly, evil rulers such as Redeye will never be able rise to power. This makes sense for his character, especially since he is a former slave.
I personally disagree with both of their opinions, with Star Charter being too forgiving and Stopped Clock being too aggressive.
Star Charter wants ponies with troubling pasts to be forgiven right away even if they committed terrible crimes. How can a wastelander forgive someone who raped their mother? Some may have no regrets for what they did and would probabably do the same thing if another Red Eye were to show up, giving the same times are tough excuse. I personally believe the Gunrunners would go back to working for slavers if it was in their best interests. Forgiveness needs to be earned, not given out freely. Also, sometimes people can't let go of things for good reasons.
Stopped Clock wants to oppress/kill troublemakers, past and present, to keep them from causing trouble. Not only will this hurt the different settlements developing in the Wasteland by harming a significant amount of the workforce, but it will also only lead to more trouble being caused. Take Star Wars for example. Did the Empire stop trouble from being caused by oppressing the galaxy? Stopped Clock's beliefs will only lead to more trouble and violence. Wastelanders need to keep an eye out for his type.
Overall, I believe wastelanders need to tolerate past troublemakers who are trying to make a living post Sunshine and Rainbows and forgive those who regret what they did when they EARN it.
Sorry for the word dump everyone. Now you know why I avoided typing my opinion of Dice's other story (Fallout Equestria: Dance of the Ortherus) in the comment section. I would end up typing a WHOLE book just detailing my opinions here and there in that story. That and I'm lazy.
Please take this as an apology for making you all read that gibberish:
Peace out.

Hay, comment as much as you like, I love the feedback.
For the most part your right. For Stopped Clock, he is basically a broken clock, Right twice a day. The idea being that he is too hyper focused on dealing out justice that he no-longer can see a compromise.
As for Star, she is super morally ambiguous, as you will see in the story. Remember that she spent half her life sounded by violence, and can be labeled as a canamble. It's not so much that she want every pony to be forgiven, it's more that she simply wants the sheriff and others to get off every ponies back.
anywho, thanks for the comment, I love a good debate. (anywho, Star Charter is a fun character to wright for.)
