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.

Hold up just a second here. I've seen this claim, and claims like it, 
multiple times - "Able was a god and couldn't be beaten by anyone", etc. 
It's not true. Able is beaten fair and square in WIZARD, one on one, by the 
champion of the foreign army. There is no indication that he was throwing 
that fight, as he did with the Leopard Knight earlier.
