travelling north

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.

Interesting. Can you elaborate on the distinction?

(I'm not familiar with the Gnostic Christ's achievements.)

I think the contention (for me) is that although #1 is true I do not 
think...

3) Wolfe necessarily sees Severian as a *figurative* stand-in for the 
Jesus he believes in.

The figurative worlds of Severian and Silk are Gnostic ones not 
Judeo-Apostolic ones. Those protagonists act, and achieve, within their 
worlds as the Gnostic Christ does. Not as the Johanine Christ acts.
