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 we on earth don't have any other Creations to compare to. (hmm..Gondwanaland predates the 
evolution of primates but I wonder it Wolfe thinks it corresponds with the evolution of
consciousness. Surely evil is partly based on this attribute...nah, I guess not. If you are
religious, you believe consciousness and intelligence predate the appearance of humanity..)

Anyway, my suggestion of the universal evil inherent in Creation can be found on Blue/Green. Isn't
there evidence that the evil of the Inhumi/Neighbors predates the appearance of human beings there?

Of course this is balanced by the Whorl which is a Creation of an ostensibly pure evil guy and his 
nasty family of monsters but ends up having elements of good keep asserting themselves. Heck they
can't even sustain human sacrifice!
