What's So Great About Ushas?

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.

The discussion would become quite interesting if Paul B was a Christian. Are you Paul?

I really have no quarrel with a person who accepts no entity as a moral superior and who
holds God and angels to the highest standards of his own morality. In the real world.

But this is fiction. Do Wolfe's intentions matter at all?   Paul, if you are arguing that the
Hierogrammates are of questionable morality by your standards I think your point is made,
very, very clearly.

If you are arguing that the Hierogrammates are of sub-angelic status by Wolfe's standards
I think you need to use a lot more text quotes to support that.

But either way, answering that simple question would clarify this entire discussion:

Are you judging the Hierogrammates by your moral standards or Wolfe's?
