[Ansteorra] Query...

Your Grace Willow

I was not negating the community view of the role of a Peer nor the role
of a Noble...

I just was trying to point out that everyone has a different view of what
these roles mean...and that if any Peer or Noble tried to appease each person's
view...then they would drive themselves crazy...

There is a certian point where each person has to figure out what they
percieve to be their job and their role and do their best to live up
to their own expectations...

If you ask any who know me...I take my job as a Peer very seriously...
and I expect other Peers to do likewise...but I also know that my
perception of what that job entails may be very different from other
perceptions and expectations..
