   And there, my friends, we come to the major twist in this labyrinthine 
tale. Regardless of the decisions made by well meaning people, there will 
always be those classless, immature individuals who feel compelled to seek 
the lowest road possible and cast cow chips at all things bright and 
beautiful.
    There have been Queens with whom I have not gotten along. There have been 
Queens whom have put forth policies and actions which I thought were 
incredibly stupid, self-serving, and damaging to the Kingdom. I have served 
Queens to the point of exhaustion, both physical and mental. Through it all, 
regardless of the lady beneath the Crown, I have given my respect and service.
    I have never heard anyone make a disrespectful remark about a Queen 
regarding the arms. Any who do so within my presence are going to visited by 
great discomfort. In all of the years before Niobe's quest to change the 
arms, I had only heard it mentioned once. It was said then as a silly 
heraldic joke, and I can assure you that disrespect for the Queen was not 
intended nor was it taken as such.
    I support a return to our historical Queen's arms. And I would remind 
everyone that stupid jokes, bad puns, and slanderous remarks are only given 
validity if we allow it to happen. This Society is supposed to be based on 
honor, chivalry, and respect. If that is not what you desire, then perhaps 
you should look elsewhere for recreation.

For Atlantia and Her Queens.
