RE: Seneschal's July Acorn Letter

[Jack Helm <Jackhe@vnet.net>]

M'lord, neither the lady who initially wrote this letter nor I are advocating anyone sit back and do nothing if they feel a wrong is being done. All that she was trying to get across (and if I misunderstood, my apologies to Lady Melys) is that we should not be jumping to conclusions and begin spouting anti BOD or anti anything until all sides of the issue are known. That is all. I applaud anyone who believes in their convictions enough to do something about them. And nobody in the Kingdom would be more pleased to see the recent decision concerning Master Thomas' warrant overturned than I. The only thing that I feel should be advocated is some restraint on the flaring of anger towards an individual or a group of individuals without any attempt to understand their reasons. Once the reasons are known, if you disagree with them, then action would be called for. But until we have something to listen to, all this talk about condemning the BOD's so called broad ranging powers is pointless and has no real ground to stand on. There is no such thing as a one sided coin.

I think your Idea about calling the folks involved and speaking to them directly is a wonderful Idea and look forward to your post letting the rest of us know what you have discovered. The search for truth should always be commended and I do so now. Your report will empower many to make sound judgments with enough information that their decisions will have a better foundation to base themselves on. Vivats to you as well, m'lord.

Michael Ryan
