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.

"I'm not sure that Garvaon's sacrifice would have been

pretty confident she would find it reprehensible and
offensive."

That's the point.  Garvaon gets no benefit from his action.  It's a sacrifice of honor on his part.  Thus it is selfish and selfless at the same time.  Garvaon's death is a gift to him so he won't have to live with his shame, not an act of redemption.  His place is skai was assured, IMO.
