Glade, in some ways I agree with you, but in others I don't. I agree with you in the sense that for _some_ people, if they think of their patron/matron as a bitch or a whore, leaving the guild may be the best thing for them. However, others may really love their guild, just not their patron. Apparently, this is the way Cathor and others in the Druid's guild feel. If this is the case, my advice is that the issue try to be dealt with. If Gaia is indeed such a terrible person, they should try to persuade us that their point of view is the right one. But to do what they're doing, tell people privately that they think she's trash and publicly say that she's sugar and spice and everything nice, is what I'd call being hypocritical and deceiving.

Oh, I know what they'd say; they'd say that in "some" ways, she's good and all, but there's no a single person on this planet who I'd call a whore, and you better believe that I don't think some of them are nice. Apparently, Mandrake thinks that the solution is to ignore the problem; does this really look like a good solution to you? Phoenyx, Mandrache and I certainly don't think so.

Penned by my hand on the 22nd of Glacian, in the year 243 AF.
