Much the same way we can choose to not pay attention to the things you say, actually. He talks to Crow, so we don't cut out his tongue. When Brennan speaks for Brennan, it's typically ridiculous and self-serving, so we shout him down and life moves on.
From an RP perspective, that's perfectly ok. Brennan is insane. Crow is the ancient Totemic Spirit that the Blacktalon revere above all others. It's not a matter of removing Brennan and Rowena--they can stay. They're lesser members of Glomdoring, though. They don't live with the natural cycle, they don't serve outside Glomdoring's borders, and they really don't have respect for their fellow communemates. They aren't part of the commune. They're fellow squatters in Glomdoring who have been ordered to make themselves useful to the commune or go away. Not the same.

Krin, for the love of God man, please, use some punctuation. It doesn't have to be perfect, but something is better than this. I had to read this out loud.

Look, Krin! This is a disgruntled Noola! Do you know how bad things have to get for us to see a disgruntled Noola on the forums?

I've never really understood the whole anti-undead position in Glomdoring, mainly because all non-nature spirits are undead (Grutina, the Crow skill spirits, etc), the Voice of Mahalla is undead, etc. There was a time when Viravain disliked the undead, but they eventually proved their worth to her by spawning the shadow faeling race. It's an interesting bit of player-driven roleplay that persists, but I'm not sure what trying to force them all out would accomplish aside from getting rid of all the NPCs with strong historical importance to the commune.
The idea wasn't to get rid of them - the idea was to resurrect them from their undead status, make them living creatures again, imbued with the power of the Wyrd. Because as much as lots of people want the Wyrd just to be some gloss-over that's nothing more than a name-tag for ridiculously pedantic debate over the semantics of Glomdoring's Tainted-ness, we've tried to run with it and make it into something meaningful - the power of nature perfected. And while spirits seem to fit - as others have pointed out, they're in the Serenwilde - physical undead don't seem to fit. Honestly - I'd never heard that Viravain had approved of undead at any time until you asserted it here. We don't make undead, they're just there - everything we actually do focuses around rebirth. Rebirth of ourselves, rebirth of the forest, rebirth of Viravain.
And it really, really doesn't help that it's apparently against the rules for Rowena and Brennan to be at all polite, cooperative, or easy to talk to.
This may have been less coherent then I hoped it could be, but that probably comes from trying to watch Austin Powers at the same time. I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
