I never said that I expect or demand that people trust me. It's true what you say- that since people don't know anything they can't assume our intentions are good.

But my whole point is that, if that is true, then it is also true that people have no reason to logically assume our intentions are bad. That is why I was rather frustrated with people. I didn't understand where the suspicion was coming from, as it was just as likely that Boro and I were doing our darn best to help.

But I think that's as much as needs to be said. Enough has already been said about this matter throughout the day, and I'm trying not to talk about it any more.

I don't mean that it would be an advantage tally-wise! I mean that Fea is more than willing to modfire people, so why isn't she doing it in this case, which is as clear a case for modfire as any I've ever seen?

That was my whole point- the fact that the lack of modfire is weirding me out.

I concluded that, most likely, the entire point was to weird us out, rather than there being anything sinister about Gil.

Go ahead, Nog. Try Rune or morm.

Lommy asked for opinions and I gave them as honestly as I could. I suppose your opinions on those two are perfectly formulated and impossible to criticize?

In addition, Noggie- didn't you say hours and hours ago that you were done talking about Boro and I? And yet you've continued.

At least my Gil post had nothing to do with that. I'm trying to talk about other things. But I guess I can't even do that without you turning things back to me.

I'm trying... I'm trying... but you don't actually help me with it...
