Um, wait. Are you saying that you do not believe what His Grace
Cariadoc of the Bow personally says about himself in a published
article?

No, I'm saying that Maire stating she thinks she read it doesn't necessarily make it true.  While Mistress Maire is, in my estimation, a highly intelligent and well-read lady, I am no more inclined to believe that something I find doubtful is true because she believes she read it than she is to believe that bubba is a period name just because I say I think I read it somewhere.  As for Cariadoc himself, as you yourself pointed out, his vision may not be as good as it was when he wrote that article, so while it may have been true then, it isn't necessarily true now..  Further, as I said before, I find it hard to believe, but that doesn't make it impossible, and I'm fully prepared to be wrong, nor does it really matter either way.

Besides the potential issues with suggesting out of the blue that a
Duke is a liar, do you have any possible reason besides contrariness
to doubt the veracity of what he says?

Other than the fact that I didn't "out of the blue suggest that a Duke is a liar", and that other fact that I've known enough Dukes since they were squires to be intimidated by the mere title, my contrariness was directed at Maire, who apparently feels I should accept something as gospel because *she thinks* she read it.  Having neither read the article nor met/shot with said Duke, I return to my previous position- I find it hard to believe, not impossible.  

This new career choice of yours ... it must be dark and stuffy under
those bridges.

Now I'm a troll, eh?  Well, so be it.  Apparently, as far as your concerned, any good I've done or said in the past 18 years is completely over-ridden by the fact that i dared to be facetious regarding a post on the Aerie.  I'm sure you'll have the tar nicely heated and the feathers ready next time I'm in Sentinel's Keep.

Morgan (who should point out that my *first* post on this topic was painfully polite, making who the troll?)
