This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Well, Roy, most of your last response was merely argumentative. I guess we disagree about Jahlee and that's that. I wish you had tried harder, though.

Oh. I see. You misunderstood. I was saying that the Rajan was describing her soul, not her physical appearance.

>The inhumi don't have vocal cords anymore than they have hair. Fake voice or
>fake face, what's the difference?

Errr...because the Rajan explicitly misstook that voice for Chenille's. And it is clear from her response to the Rajan that Jahlee was not intending to mimic her. And we have the parallel example of Tartaros stating the the voices of the simulations are as they perceive them to be. You're not even trying, here. 

>Part of the problem here is that I don't
>concede Jahlee contains Chenille's "soul", and I have yet to see proof
>she does.

Yes. But that reasoning is circular, since you haven't noted any proof that *would* convince you, and I doubt there is any.

>Was it the Chenille in her that caused her to try to kill Nettle?

That's a silly refutation. The nature of the inhumi's inherited souls is clearly defined enough for you to be able to distinguish it from "possession". 

I guess we've done all the damage we're going to do here. I'll move on to your other post.
