Embassies

I agree to everything Bittty and Irfidel said about the camps. I, and my sister Diwu together with me, am going on to support the weakest camps in terms of progress, no matter in which nation. The kitins do not care for nations, but they will love weak points in our defenses. So I consider it as a duty of a Ranger applicant to avoid gaps in our defense lines. And again, I invite and encourage everybody to take part in that great task.

As to another thing: I like to elaborate a bit what I have been telling in discussion with Ozwomen and others. I do not feel that I was "rude". When saying that certain Matis were "out of their brains" concerning termites, I did in no way assert that they lack brains or are unable to use, in general, but that they are blocked to use concerning that topic. One may disagree, but that was not an insult nor was ever meant to be one. In German, we call such an attitude of being blocked to think clearly "neben der Kappe" (beneath one's cap) in sloppy language. I am a Tryker (though not a Lakelander) and I am entitled to some extent of evil tongue - compared with my old teacher Milles Dodoine I am still an angel and a role model of politeness.

Also to my "intemperate response": I asked Ozwomen to behave like a guest. I considered her inquisitional insistence towards Rangini, who explained patiently and politely, a quite insolent behavior. She may have been glad not to have harassed me that way.

Thanks for your attention
