silk, the dancing toy, gods in the tunnels

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.

Auk, harmless? The man does harm by trade.

Yes, this is unsettling. As are some other things - do you remember the talk some time ago about Wolfe's treatment of female characters?

> PS - (Silk kills Jahlee there, that's why it is so emotionally bizarre. Nettle knows that the man who has come back is not her husband anymore)

That I do not know. They know he isn't Horn because his body is Silk's and his personality likewise - in fact the only reason he can get anyone to entertain him as Horn is because he has all of Horn's memories. But I can very well see Horn being ruthless when needs must.
