When Culann the smith prepared a feast for Conchobar, King of Ulster, he asked that the King bring only a few retainers, since he earned his wealth from his smithy, and did not have an estate rich enough to feed a great host.
At the moment the boy came in sight, and to the horror of Culann and his guests, the hound ran to attack him.
Culann the smith formally welcomed him, but mourned the loss of his great dog, for it was the strong defender of his home and cattle.

An active volcano named Culann Patera (top center) is one of the most colorful volcanoes on Jupiter's innermost large moon (see PIA02535).
The volcano Culann has produced both dark fl and dark red lava flows, as well as diffuse, inner and outer rings of red and yellowish sulfur particles from explosive plumes (for example, PIA02502).
The large white patch in southwestern Tohil Patera is rich in sulfur dioxide, and comparison with higher-resolution views (for example, PIA03527) suggests that this might be a region of cold sulfur dioxide flows.

 Blame and Responsibility, the magic bullet for all ills - www.ezboard.com
I read what Leucol posted, and what Culann had posted, and I think that they are not really talking about the same issue.
I think that the point that Culann was making back then was a good one -- there is a subset of "Eq addicts" (merely to use shorthand) who simply bought the game, started playing it, and got caught up in the compelling nature of the game.
I fall into the camp of saying (1) people are not automatons and definitely bear 'responsibility' for their actions and are not brainwashed by the game, yet (2) the compelling nature of the game absolutely creeps up on some people and previously well-adjusted people end up playing the game compulsively and/or excessively.

Culann himself had come out, and there he saw his ban dog lie in scraps and pieces; which was a heart's vexation to him.

 Culann's Hounds, self-titled   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Culann's Hounds is the debut album from this five-man San Francisco-Irish band, and a very promising entrance it is. A good mix of familiar tunes and songs, with some particularly tight and lively jigs and reels, talented playing and good singing -- what more do you want?
Kevin McDonough on flute and whistle, Conall O'Raghallaigh on uilleann pipes, Steve Gardner on fiddle, Michael Kelleher on guitar and Frank Jordan on bodhran and vocals form a cohesive musical ensemble with the innate strength of the legendary Cuchulainn.
Overall, Culann's Hounds is a good-going album, especially for a debut; it should result in mutual promotion between their live work and studio work and Culann's Hounds should run and run.
