Citizens of Aetherius,

I will not take up much of your time. I would just like to point your
attention to the recent news reports that have been made regarding dark
magicks- namely 520, 521, 522, and 524, for reference.

Sparda states (in article 524) "the pure ones of aetherius now seek to
slander and insult the dark magicks...". Where is this slander? What
insults have been spoken of the dark magicks? Just to clarify, slander
is an untrue statement made in order to defame or mar the reputation of
the offended party. An insult is a statement intended to affront or
demean.

I have full faith in your intelligence, citizens. I am sure that you can
all discern who has been casting insults, spreading slander, and I
daresay manufacturing propaganda. I would strongly recommend you read
post 522, to expound on this particular subject.

Post 524 goes on to state that "The slights and disrespect shown to the
dark magicks have not gone unnoticed, pure ones..." I would counter with
a different perspective. It is my opinion that those of you who dabble
in dark magicks, who play with this overwhelming power, and believe you
can control it, are showing them far greater disrespect than any who
speak out against them.

Finally, I will address a comment that I perceive as highly insulting.
"No longer shall the pure... speak against the gift of undeath." It is
pretentious, at best, to assume that you can steal my voice, or the
voice of any who may choose to express similar things. I would not
advise you to attempt it.

We will not be silenced.

Blessings upon you,
