Once more, when faced with the simple task of defending your stated convictions, you hide behind personal attacks, strange fixations upon relationships, and empty phrases that deflect and evade.

Self-aggrandizement? Self-righteousness?

Which of us fits that description better? The ones bonded to Dia'ruis, who speak the long-established truths of the Cycle and point out simple logical fallacies? Or the singular individual who discarded their Oaths to Dia'ruis and then proclaims that their understanding of Her is the real, true, accurate version - and everyone else is wrong, simply because other perspectives exist.

We do claim superiority in one thing, that is true. We are still children of Dia'ruis. We walk with the guidance of Her Guardians, we are linked to Her in mind and soul, we breathe each breath to safeguard and nourish Her.

So, having reflected upon my actions and attitudes, I conclude all the more firmly that they are quite appropriate, and they will continue accordingly.
