[NakedJehutyV2]

if they are so insistant of that rule then why are they shielding the MW from the ori?

I think it's hard to divine the Alterrans' motives. While basically benign, I think they are pretty elitist, so their non-interference policy has a lot (although not necessarily all) to do with being stuck-up jerks. I don't think they are all bad, of course, but I think a great many of them have a very smug benelovence, like we lowly mortals somehow owe them for not having crushed us with their vast godlike powers. From their perspective, it's like a human trying to be nice to a fly or an ant - some people can do it, but most don't even care.

However, I don't believe the Alterrans are above self-preservation. According to Orlin, the Alterrans believe that if the Ori win in the MW, the balance of power would tip dangerously in the Ori's favor. Thus the Alterrans have been shielding the MW not for our protection so much as theirs.

The no interference policy is directly linked to the Ori, its there to stop ascended beings doing what they're doing.

Gotta say, nice point you make. The Alterrans/Ascended Ancients don't interfere with our daily existence, unless their butts are on the line as well. Then, all bets may be off.
