Grumble.
My dear wife is at 50 Year, selling her wares. She has had chances to get out and see things. Atlantia put up a display that included lists of recipients of each peerage order. That's cool. My wife noticed that my name was missing from the Laurel and Pelican. WTF? She took pictures of each and posted them to FaceBook with the query "Where's Herveus" (not wearing a striped tunic or anything like that). She called me to alert me to this. I promptly tagged our Queen. Brief conversation via FaceBook ensued.
The person who had put the displays together stopped by to speak to Megan. She had corrected the omissions. Presumably it was a simple mistake. Said person was not upset with Megan or her posting to FaceBook. Names were not named (or even known to be named). Katherine de la Vache is OK by us (being the aforementioned person).
The Queen deputized someone who will remain nameless to speak with Megan (before Katherine came by and touched base). Based on my wife's remarks, said person was more focused on chastising her for having the temerity to publish her pictures and remarks on FaceBook and for calling me instead of going directly to the Queen. Really? I gather there was at least insinuation that someone was "upset" at the postings. *sigh*
Let's shoot the messenger, why don't we?
To be clear, I have no beef with the Queen. None at all. It's really the person she charged to follow up who appears to have stepped in it. And the person whose error prompted all this is not upset nor is Megan upset with her. Stuff happened; it got fixed. No extra drama. FaceBook messaging worked well to communicate with her, including closing the loop to note that the problem was fixed.
Mind you, it's set Megan off, and moved her to make remarks about not being "of Atlantia" any more, this being one more stupid slight done by or on behalf of powers that be.
