subject: Why the Romulans Left

-=> Quoting Michael Marek to Alan Presley <=-
MM> It turns out that the followers of Surak were using a weapon called
MM> the "Stone of Gol" which amplified and reflected violent emotions back
MM> at the person experiencing those emotions, generally killing them.
MM> The Surakians were engaged in a crusade as aggressive as anything ever
MM> conducted by Christianity to convert Vulcan to Logic.  Their (somewhat
MM> stilted) logic told them that people must convert or die.  The
MM> Romulans, as a result, left in order to save their lives.  In Gambit,
MM> we saw that a faction of Vulcans was still alive in the current
MM> Federation era, willing to use the Stone of Gol to kill in order to
MM> reach its societal goals.
This is interesting, because I don't remember any part of that episode
specifically referring the the point that the Romulans left in order to
save their lives.  The first paragraph is correct, but the facts for the
second paragraph are where exactly in those episodes, if you don't mind
refreshing my memory?
