 I can't decide if the lesson to be learned is that Changelings are martyrs... or that men are dumb.

I mean, on the one hand, the last few days we've had Dasia and Edria on the lists, melodramatically eating worms and going on about how they're going to do what they have to to keep the Freehold safe even if we despise them for it (which was frankly

Eh, Edria wasn't really talking about Holly. Avery... possibly Ugarti, etc, but you weren't one of the ones being obnoxious. ;)

Pfft. Was too. I just know how to be stealth-obnoxious, unlike Avery and Ugarti.

Point is, Ugarti and Avery were saying things Holly was thinking (and in Ugarti's case, things Holly and he had talked about before.) So yeah, obnoxious or not, dismissing their opinions felt a LOT like dismissing her opinions.

It's a little unfair to blame her for yelling at you when you didn't even say anything ya know. just saying. Sorry but it's incredibly frustrating to repeat yourself three thousand times and still have people tell you you don't feel anything, don't care, or are screwing up. I mean not that there's any pressure to get eaten by a gentry or anything :shrug:

She did, actually. She was quite vocal about her opinion in the earlier thread.

*shrugs* and from the other side, it's incredibly frustrating to feel like every point you're trying to make is being ignored. Holly essentially dropped out of the argument because she felt like it didn't matter what she actually said, people were going to hear whatever they wanted to hear.

...well, ok, also because she was getting mad enough that she knew if she jumped into the fight again, she'd probably wind up saying things she'd regret once she calmed down. Which is why she's only bitching here, in her journal. If she EVER actually brings it up to Edria in real life, it'll probably be, like, weeks & weeks from now and in a much less accusatory fashion. (I don't know if you've caught this, but she's got the slightest bit of hero-worship going on there.)
