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.

You keep bringing this up, that people 'attack' your ideas because they have 
different ones. Repeating it to exhaustion doesn't make it any more cogent.

I don't understand what it is that you want others to do. If you say 
Severian went left, you say you're prepared to discuss what if he went right 
instead, but take offense at the suggestion that he went up or not anywhere?
