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.

We seem to be talking past each other, and I'm not sure how to resolve 
it. I believe Cassie's transformation up to star/goddess and Margaret's 
to possibly immoral shapechanger are sufficient. Since you do not, the 
burden of proof is on you to find better candidates.

Here are some we could look at:
1) Hanga -- a human who went down to shark level, or a shark that went up?
2) The Volcano God -- possibly a human who transformed up.
3) The assassin and the detective -- possibly transformed down
