Malaphus,

It pains me greatly to see you take such an action as your recent public
post, especially when I have given so much personal attention to your
issue. As you know, Hashan is a democracy, and a fundamental part of
that is to allow our citizens to post an objection to citizen
applications if they feel it is just deserved. This process stays
anonymous, even to me unless personally requested, and only the
Ambassador has a list of names and objections.

You have applied, and by the democratic will of the city, been rejected.
You may feel this to be unfair, but the number of objections we received
gave us no choice. We will not bend our rules for one person, and we
will not be putting our democractic trust in jeopardy by bending to the
will of your curiousity.

Due to your decision to bring this to public attention, and not wait for
me to deal with this within the Council, I shall reciprocate in kind.
Your straw poll of Hashani, possibly under duress, is no measure of
official public ethos. You will not be dealt with as a special case, and
there will be no court hearing into your application. I suggest you
swallow the decision, and take the time given before your next
application to trim a little from your self ego.
