Dalamar, this is probably the only time that I shall deign to respond to
one of your public missives. A couple of points need clearing up though.

First of all, my "chance to speak" on ANY issue will never be determined
by the likes of you, so disabuse yourself of that notion. Although I am a woman
of few public words, never make the error of assuming that I have no valid
opinions, nor that I am incapable of voicing them should I feel the need.

On the matter of "ignoring" you for four years, I am curious. . .
Do you refer to your pleas on behalf of a certain rogue serpent, with whom
you are in collusion in the trafficking of illegal venoms, and your vain
attempts to implicate others therein?
Or, perhaps you refer to my refusal to speak with you after you followed and
harassed me on the streets of Shallam, accusing me of creating wormholes, when
I merely sought a vendor with a supply of boots?
Mayhap you are thinking of my recent silence after your unintelligible harangue
to me regarding certain citizens of Ashtan?

Many epithets, positive and negative, have been applied to me, Dalamar.
However, I doubt that unfair or dishonest are among them. I am a very busy
woman, but I am not in the habit of outright ignoring those who would speak
with me. That would be rude. . .and I am rarely rude. But you see, in order
for me to have meaningful communication with an individual, he or she must
meet three criteria. . .1) There must be some manner of civility. 2) There must
at least be some measure of apparent honesty or good faith, and 3) There must
be intelligible verbiage with which to understand what one is attempting to
communicate. As your very typical post 3584 evidences, you sadly meet none
of these criteria. It is not a matter of ignoring you, I simply have no ground on
which to base communication with you.

Penned by my hand on the 19th of Lupar, in the year 237 AF.
