[MR] Re: [AtlantianHeralds] Queen's Arms

I have just received an email from thyra olafsdottir where she asks 
me if "I wish to flame her also".  I am choosing to respond publicly 
because I have no need to hide behind flames or rudeness.  

I wonder what the term flame means?  Does it mean that she got a 
whole lot of email disagreeing with her?  Or does it mean she got a 
whole lot of rude hateful email disagreeing with her?

Her words provoked in me an almost primal urge to let her have it.  
So I can understand the likely heated emails she may have 
received. 

I believe strongly in the divine right of Kings and Queens (at least 
for six months)  To me her words sounded like treason and 
probably sounds the same to a number of peoples ears.   She 
probably doesn't understand that because she isn't thinking as a 
citizen of a Kingdom, she's thinking with her modern sensibilities. 

But I would be hard pressed to tell her about the courtesy and 
honor we should show our monarchs and each other if I attacked 
her.  Everyone who chooses to respond to this issue should 
remember that. 

I have not enjoyed the reign of every Monarch our Kingdom has 
had.  In fact I have vehemently disagreed with a number of things 
that our Monarch's have done.  But I am not rude, thoughtless or 
belittling to our Royalty, even when I disagree with them.   In my 
opinion, Thyra's comments were not well spoken.  

Thyra- you have every right to disagree with Her Highness privately 
and to counsel Her Highness as to your opinion as a citizen of this 
Kingdom.  You do not have the right to insult the Princess or to 
imply that she does not represent this Kingdom with dignity and 
honor.   You say you are a nobody  in the ranks of alphabet soup. 
Have you ever wondered why?
