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.

This has shaken my faith in the correctness of democracy.

I mean, would it be SO terrible to force people into good literature
gulags? Eighteen hours a day, reading away, lulled to silence by the
gentle crack of the overseer's whips?

I mean, people put "The Sword of Truth" and those drecky "Forgotten
Realms" novels ahead of Wolfe and Mieville? They NEED re-education.
