Per my usual routine lately, I threw away that flier when I got it with the paper Friday morning. I've no desire for a bunch of lies and exaggeration to adorn my door, I'm sure many of you understand. And while some were reading that, I assume, I was reading on things that actually happened--so long as the news keeps up what integrity it has. It

the words moth and flame spring to mind

Freud was also guilty of substance abuse. Cocaine, in fact--he wrote about its anti-depressant qualities. But--um--yes, you are right in that many of his theories have since been disproven. Those particular complexes, however, worked their way into modern culture and have practically become popculture references. They have become hard to avoid.

Perhaps it is best that we just... didn't read them. Because I'm not crazy.

Briseis~

I do not intend to make a habit of reading them, nor did I read them this time. While the fliers are disgusting, I am more disappointed in your roommates, who for obvious reasons I have some suspicions of being avid readers if not writers.

[theprizeofwar]

I meant the complex as a whole, sir, I did not mean to insinuate you were an... 'avid reader' yourself.

I--I can assure you neither my husband nor Patroclus are writers for those fliers, though I do not keep tabs on what they read.

[greatmendontdie]

And if this is not the case they are still, nonetheless, the cause of the rumor?

[theprizeofwar]

I--

... I really don't think they would do that, sir, given that they are more than pleased to spread such remarks across the internet. And considering my husband's tendency to take credit for his own work, I do not think he would resort to anonymity.

[greatmendontdie]

I am quite assured of that. You misunderstand me, Briseis. What I mean to say is that if they were not spreading such remarks than our anonymous benefactor would not have typed that onto his masterpiece. Where else would they have gotten it from if not from those loud declarations?

With every respect, General, your daughter's name has been associated with that complex for a long time. It would not be hard for anyone in the building to put the two together and masquerade it as the truth.

[greatmendontdie]

So the action is excusable on account of its level of difficulty or lack thereof?

[theprizeofwar]

I was simply saying that anyone could have done it, not necessarily the people you're accusing.

[greatmendontdie]

But they're the people that did. So I care very little about the ones that could have.

[theprizeofwar]

And I am clearly not going to sway you, so I'll remain silent on the matter.

[greatmendontdie]

Please don't. I'd like to reach an understanding with you, Briseis.

I do not believe, for a moment, that your husband and his friend wrote those fliers. However, the author had to gather the material from some place and I'm not surprised that he dredged up such a ridiculous accusation from the complex--your husband and his friend, after all, do speak so loudly and so often.

i can't remember if they'd run into eachother yet

[theprizeofwar]

And what of the rumours published whose subject was not made public knowledge until those fliers were released?

[greatmendontdie]

Beg pardon?

is he just being a bastard? /confused mun is confused

[theprizeofwar]

Granted.
