Lady Kandyce,

I too, fail to understand your response, even after reviewing both your 
e-mail, and the original missive sent by Stefan. While I do not know 
Stephan personally, I do not see any content in his letter that compares 
with your charges. As this is a public list, I feel it appropriate to 
ask for clarification (or withdrawl) of the statement.

Lord Ivo Blackhawk.

The fact is, that Duke Patrick Michel and Duchess Julia, I'm sure, gave this decision, much thought and They knew this would be hard for all of Us to accept and understand. And I have never...in all the time I have been playing ... known of Duke Patrick Michel acting in anyway but "Honorable" in this game we all play. For you to even hint at that, is wrong on your part

This is especially hard on Sir Simonn and Mistress Tessa who have been close personal friends with both of them. However, in true Bordermarch and Ansteorra fashion , Crown Tounament will be done with Honor above anything else. I invite you to come and see. Maybe then you will find the true Honor that is at the heart of this dream we have.
