[The voice recorded is crisp, speaking with precision and elegance and an air of something one might assess as condescension. He sounds to be in his early twenties, and rather like a school teacher.]

Considering our network is once again flushed with and angry and panicked voices, I thought I would bring to attention a certain matter.

[She gives a pause.]

I'm sorry that you feel left out.

[typhlopid]

[There is a danger to his voice. Though it is as soft and calm and ever, there is something about its deliberateness that is almost grating.]

Left out? Hardly. If others do not believe that my particular attention is not required to 'view' their messages, then it is their loss. I can only assume it is not so important that they wish undertake the vastly inconvenient task of adding a note.

[athermercy]

[That's a unique sense of logic. She's not sure if she buys it.]

That's how it is?

[typhlopid]

If it does not matter to them, I cannot make it matter. I will continue to attend to my life and work as I do and disregard those posts I cannot get the full affect of.

[athermercy]

Maybe you could help them understand. Society's used to overlook stuff like this.

[typhlopid]

[softly:] I cannot help them understand if they will not listen.

[athermercy]

No, I guess nobody can do that.

[typhlopid]

It is too unpleasant for them to be confronted with what they take for granted, or for them to consider what it might be like for those who go without it.

...Or, perhaps it is only that they are threatened by my intelligence.

[athermercy]

Usually, there's not just one answer for stuff like this.
