War With The Ascians as a Proxy War?

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.

Of course, the hieros do plan to wipe out 99.9% of Urth's population.  But
Wolfe may be taking the "Live Free or Die" view (not to mention the various
reasons why this mass murder is a Good Thing that have been proffered).
