You really have to read the conversation for yourselves.  Here are two links.

Ok, so after Kelduum oked it today, I asked Ibn Sahl of Open I why he'd declared war on us.
It could probably have gone better. Chat log follows


Chip Mintago > Pardon me
Chip Mintago > I notice that you have, by yourself, declared war against Eve University,
to which I belong
Ibn Sahl > Honour permitted no other response!
Chip Mintago > Uhm, ok
Chip Mintago > I just hoped maybe you could let me know why
Ibn Sahl > What?
Ibn Sahl > Because I could stand the insult no longer
Chip Mintago > Wait, as sec, ... sorry, I'm not up on the details
Chip Mintago > Did we do something?
Chip Mintago > What is the greivance?
Ibn Sahl > I have made six attempts to communicate now
Ibn Sahl > I first sent mail to Kelduum Reevan, your diplomat
Ibn Sahl > When I received no response I sent a follow up
Ibn Sahl > With no response to that I sent another follow up
Chip Mintago > We've been busy
Ibn Sahl > Who is my corporation that your diplomats haven't even a moment to discuss
an offer of skill materials that I made them?
Chip Mintago > I'm sure it's just been overlooked
Ibn Sahl > I then spoke to members of your corporation three times on your
Eve University channel
Ibn Sahl > Three seperate occassions
Ibn Sahl > On the second, Ixxc told me I would receive a response from your diplomats
Ibn Sahl > Still nothing. Six contacts. And with an offer to donate to you. I have a proud
nature. I can no longer stand the insult. What course is there but war?
Chip Mintago > Ah
Chip Mintago > So, ... wait, this is because we uhm didn't talk to you?
Ibn Sahl > What would become of a man who no longer had any reason for defending
himself from insult?
Ibn Sahl > What affects does he keep if he has lost those in which lie
his weapons of defense and attack>?
Chip Mintago > Ok, but uisn't this expensive?
Chip Mintago > I mean, what do you get from fighting a thousand people
Ibn Sahl > Must I profit materially?
Ibn Sahl > Can you see no reason for action but profit? Should all morals be based on
what serves your purse?
Ibn Sahl > You smell of the shop!
Ibn Sahl > Of course I cannot prevail
Ibn Sahl > I am not a servant of my purse
Ibn Sahl > I abhor the vulgarity of the view that everything must be done for money
Ibn Sahl > Would you establish all galactic intercourse on the basis of mutual services,
so that every action appears as a kind of payment for something?
Ibn Sahl > These are the moral values of the old galaxy
Ibn Sahl > It is in the soil poisioned by these values that our galactic culture now withers.
Chip Mintago > Ok
Ibn Sahl > If you can genuinly not conceive of action based in honour,
then the situation is worse even than I had imagined
Chip Mintago > look<br>I'm going to go...
Ibn Sahl > The parochial narrowness of your principle repels me
Ibn Sahl > This is why we require aristocractic segregation from the masses
Ibn Sahl > From the Chip Minargos that would barter even matter matters of life and death!
Ibn Sahl > It is the clear, instinctive and fundamental basis of any noble man
that he will fight to avenge insult
Ibn Sahl > It is not a question of your profits and losses
Ibn Sahl > Have you never put your life in danger over honour?
Ibn Sahl > Haven't you wished to leave behind your accounting room,
your merchant's ledger and indulge the passion to defend your honour?
Ibn Sahl > Greatness of character does not consist in assembling property, Mintago!
Ibn Sahl > Throw out your ledger. Train for the arts of war. Give in to your passions.
Chip Mintago > It's just something is burning on my stove
Chip Mintago > I'd like nothing more than to talk about this some more,
but I'm going to have to go
Ibn Sahl > Have you not even the courage to confront me? Say you are leaving like a man!
Ibn Sahl > Say that you abhor me, or that you will not talk to an enemy
Ibn Sahl > Where is your soul?
Chip Mintago > I can smell the smoke from here. I need to go
Ibn Sahl > Even in conversation, can you only blather? Can you only say we are friends?
Chip Mintago > No I like you. I sure am not in any way someone you should hunt
or anything like that
Chip Mintago > I just need to get some sleep you see.
May I say what pleasure it has been to hear about your positions on these matters
Ibn Sahl > Your talk is cowardice. If you were bolder and stronger
you would openly confront me with the contempt you must feel
Ibn Sahl > Where is your pride
Ibn Sahl > I call you a coward and you just blather?
