This is getting a bit off-topic even for meta, but since you ask publicly:

Quoting "Rachel K. Clark" <rachel.k.clark at comcast.net>:

+ Apologies for conjuring up so much noise.

I appreciate that.

+ While browsing through recent EML
+ posts, my attention was seized by bb's harsh criticisms when the CI
+ translations were posted. I opted to show up here personally because (A) I
+ wanted to criticise the ad hominem aspect (is this characteristic of
+ unbiased information from mature adults?)

I don't appreciate that, though.

+ M found it appropriate to drag in mention of "various slights" and how he
+ was content to continue ignoring them; I'm not certain what he hoped to
+ achieve by that. I also interpreted the rather succinct "drop it" as a hint
+ to kill the thread, although I'll admit I was having a rather awful time
+ trying to figure out exactly what M was saying in general.

I don't claim to know the whole story. But upon visiting your pages for myself,
I noted:

"Was he, perhaps, an Angel who was captured by Seele as an egg?" (It says
"tamago no joutai", literally "egg condition/state"; I have no idea how
bochan_bird got "embryonic state". He did the same thing to tamago in his EoE
translation of the Adam line.)

I may be utterly off base here, but you're essentially saying "Bochan is wrong".
It may well be a matter of interpretation. But if you had "no idea how",
concievably you *could* have contacted him and discussed your contentions rather
than, or before, presenting something like the above publicly.
