Public News Post #123

Freedom of Speech

Written by: Headmistress Servelan de Vermiis
Date: Thursday, December 4th, 1997
Addressed to: Serpent Aife, La Femme Fatale


The reason this news section is called "Public" is that we are all free
to post on matters we choose. Only the Gods themselves may determine
whether an individual is abusing this privilege or not. Whenever you
enter into any public arena, you have to put up with the vagaries and
quirks of individuals who are also free to enter into this arena. Just
look at public parks or any ohter public place -- there are people there
who might offend by their smell, look or habits, yet you must put up with
them or leave that public area.

That being said, you raise a valid point of whether this current academic
debate or other discussions I have involved myself in are getting "old
quickly." Although I have heard from you and Alanna on this Public News,
I have also heard from numerous others who approach me in person. The
wide consensus is that I believe the public is very much interested in
what is being brought to their attention in the news. In other words,
the majority of persons do not believe that this is getting "old quickly"
but rather quite the opposite. They want to hear more! The Druids are
practically beating down my door wanting to read more selections from
the "Revelations of Glaaki" (which I may just publish) and quite a few
others have been slapping my back and encouraging me to carry on. Since,
this being the case, I will have to not listen to you and Alanna in your
attempts to silence me but listen to the multitude of others who are
desirous for me to continue. After all, the needs of the many outweigh
the needs of the few.
