No, but I wish they'd be a little quicker off the
mark.

Congratulations! You have just stooped so low yourself
as to "dare infer a crueler pun? ". Let the thumping
commence.

So long as they include the Chiv in their ranks, I
doubt ignoring them will help.

And how have the Knights corrected this slander? By
ignoring it; sweeping it under the rug, and asking for
a return to the very conditions that spawned the
problem in the first place. 

Has "tradition" become so important that we would
actively seek the return of something that even one
Queen found shameful? Does Her honor mean so little
that you can not only ignore this slight, but actively
encourage it's return?

I cannot. Rather, to ANY who would return us to the
old style, I offer challange. I will prove their folly
upon their persons. Such a slight to one who was our
Queen, and to Queens to come however gracious, is not
to be borne by any loyal Atlantian. Alternatives exist
that we may in honor pursue without doing so shameful
a thing.

QoC, indeed. You should be ashamed. I am, to have read
such a letter over the name of a member of that Order.
