Sleeping Baldanders

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.

I'd assumed that the changes in Baldanders behavior were not an act but
something caused by wildly fluctuating levels of hormones. Otherwise I
cannot explain how Baldanders goes from enranged beast (when he charges the
crowd and the cacogens have to burn him down) to scientist (at his castle)
to some sort of crazed child (when he fights Severian at his castle).
