I'm here to set the record straight. I won't stand still when your random thrown rocks might hit people who aren't related to this in any shape or form.

Likewise, I'll have you know, I'm not interested in petty quarrels, or old feuds. I'm angry at what you've done, yes, but you're not a priority to me. The cure to this illness is.

First, I'm offended that you think so little of me that your first reaction is imagining that someone must be speaking in my behalf. That's, simply, not the case. All these words have been penned and written by me. No one is puppeteering me, no one is telling me to do this. I'm doing and talking about all of these things by my own volition.

You mentioned me, and avoided mentioning him. He didn't just mention symptoms and you know it. He gave you all the pointers you gave to The Dicondron Academy, and when I called you out, you justified it saying that "leaving him out of the orders is -good- for the project's participation, which is a wildly different reason than the one you stated in your previous reply.

If you're going to apologize to someone for stealing their research and conjectures, that someone is not me.

I'm going to quote the letter you sent me, saying it was the order you gave to The Dicondron Academy, citing only the parts that Treischt told you about:
"2. I am told patient zero was the Oracle of Prin. I am wondering if Prin
might still be the source
of new infections, which will require testing.
3. I have been told the source of the disease is either the Or'myrr,
Mhaldor or Twilight. I consider
these last two accusations to be unlikely given the absence of a
reportable motive. As the
proginators of the Xorani, the Or'myrr at least have enough connection
to explain why they'd bother
with a disease targetted at one race."
...
4. Dig into the lore and history of the Or'myrr and the Xorani people.
It is very important to know
all we can about the subject."

While this information doesn't fit the information we have about the illness any more, it was information Treischt provided to you. Though I admit the fourth point is a natural conclusion anyone would've eventually come to, you didn't seem to know any of this at the time, since your focus was in corpses.

Wouldn't you act hostile if the person offering their help seemed excited about the idea of your friend being sick? If their way to break the news is to tell people "You have a mushroom colony in your chest."? I didn't know you, you looked like you were ready to tear his chest apart. Of course I'd be on edge.

Again, I'm offended you think I'm someone else's puppet, or that I'm enacting someone else's will. The reason why I left their names out is that I knew my article and my declarations would be bound to cause ripples, and I wanted to leave them out of it if they so desired. At the time of publishing my article, I hadn't got a response from them. But now that I have their consent, I'll just drop their names and their collaborations!

B is Purple Amnesiac Hugger Boosteya, Commissioned Novice-Minder. She told me exactly where to look, where to read. And we were even in talks of looking for volunteers to NOT eat the burdock root and document the illness properly.

R is my beloved cousin, Silvestrian Rosenkreuz Malicieux. She's been very eager to help since we explained her our goals, and she let me know that, and I quote her, "Fungal infections don't necessarily die with the host! There are in fact, many fungal species whose entire purpose is to overwhelm the host, kill them, and then sprout fruiting bodies off of the infected creature's corpse." She, as well, is very interested in finding someone who's infected to document it properly.

I told both of them no. I can't live with the idea of letting people be sick, even if it's for research, and they can get the cure whenever they want. And I'll tell you the same I told them immediately after, "I'm not your boss". Even implying that I have any power over other people would be delusional at best.

The reason why I asked if I could see any of your investigation or research is because, before you approached me in Their behalf, I had NEVER heard about The Dicondron Academy. And I was under the assumption you were looking for funding until you told me otherwise. Of course, if I was going to give some funding, I'd be eager to see what you had on your hands so far.

As I said, I have no idea what you or The Dicondron Academy would have to win with sharing false information, and I don't care. My priority is eradicating the illness.

Are we really going to ignore the fact that the first victims of the illness contracted it from dead bodies? Of course an airborne illness is not shameful, it just happens. I was angry because you were very happy at the idea of slicing people's chests open.

Lastly, I frankly don't understand why you keep referring to him as my boyfriend when he has a name. You even avoided it in your post. His name is Treischt. Learn his name! EVERYONE should learn his name! My article got praise, congratulations and many thanks. It's NOT me who should be getting them.

Treischt was the driving force behind pursuing an impossible goal. Him, Boosteya and Milabar gave me all the information I needed, told me where to look, or taught me SO many things in the process. Rosenkreuz helped me to stop being a fool. LEARN THEIR NAMES, SAY THEM OUT LOUD! If you want to congratulate someone, congratulate THEM!

My accusations were against The Dincondron Academy as a whole, and you decided to take it as an attempt from someone else to tarnish your persona.

After that display, I couldn't trust you, nor The Dicondron Academy. This display just proves to me, I was right about you all along. And I was a fool for trusting you, and I'm never making that mistake again.

It's not "my" research, it's not "me" who needs "assistance for no cost and without strings". And, lastly, is not "my call". It never was. I don't think I even understand why you contacted me in the first place, and I, frankly, again, don't care.

I can't care about anything else than eradicating this damned disease.

It's the Xorani in Achaea who you should be doing this for, not me. I just happen to be very loud.

Just for the record, no one knew about my last post. They knew that I was working on an article. They didn't know about my accusations. No one knew. Those accusations are mine, and mine alone.

Lastly, "B" (You know, Boosteya), would like everyone to know the following: "I don't mind my name in it (The article) as long as it is very clear from any and all context that while I've tried to inform you, you may or may not post in accordance with my understanding of what is true, because I am not your only source, and I'm guessing that some people, based on other stuff you've posted, don't know the truth."

Lastly, I'm still willing to sponsor anyone who can give me any information I might be lacking about burdock roots, the Xorani illness itself, or anyone who might be working in an alternative cure. My modest savings for any shred of information.

Remember to eat your yearly burdock root,
Annase D'Arcangeli-Malicieux Si'Talvace.
