[ANSTHRLD] question about baronial service order award charters

[Tim McDaniel]

It has been suggested in private e-mail that I am trying to imply that
(paraphrasing) Magister Robin is a liar, fool, or madman.

I am deeply sorry that my words might be read that way.  It was
certainly not my intent so to imply.  (If for no other reason that I
do not care to learn what it feels like for a rapier to pass through
my body.  I fear it might tickle.)

I misremembered the people and times that he reported for the
decisions, thinking the precedent had been set earlier, and I should
have re-checked Robin's original note.  (Though I still think it odd
that the people involved U-turned so quickly.)

Though, coming to think on it, I must own that Magister Robin *is* a
liar, fool, and madman: respectively, he has praised me, he has played
the fool (in season), and he is as mad as Reepicheep.

Bowing respectfully in the direction of the Steppes,
     Daniel de Lincoln
