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.

Earlier you quoted:? ?
we on Blue must come together in brotherhood before our own whorl becomes what Green already is?.

Green can be Urth in metaphor, but not in objective reality (leaving all else aside, where?s Lune and what?s Blue?).? So too with inhumi and lianas.

?

And the brush that comes to life is a metaphor too, for the effect of the life bringing New Sun on moribund Urth.

He corrected me that Blue was most definitely not Urth.? Is such a correction necessary in metaphor?? I asked him if Silk passing through the same passage that the ship in UotNS past through would result in him winding up on past Urth from it's future (Blue), and his response was, No, no, NO!? Green is Urth.? This is a very specific correction.? It's not a metaphor.? It's concrete.?? And there was the mechanism I was looking for.? It's the same place, metaphorically, concretely, absolutely.? However you want to cut it.? Otherwise that mechanism and all the speculation about, asking myself about what I had really meant thinking about green etc etc from the narrator IS just white noise.
