"The powers of the gods are meant to be used to benefit people, not harm them," Celestia responded, not in the least bit deterred from her interfering.

If he is another god's follower, you will be provoking a way you will be ill-suited to win and that will only harm all of us in the long term. If he is your own, you will be harming yourself. Whatever brief satisfaction you may get from harming him will not be worth the long-term damage done."
