Fairies and Wolfe

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.

Eh? Don't fairies generally have strictures they constitutionally can't 
break, like being unable to go back on their word, can't break the seal 
of the cross, etc? While humans are free to lie, betray, blaspheme, etc, 
and repent at leisure?
