Lords and Ladies and Women of Lumptonia,
Upon reflection about the potential offensiveness of the Havenmaster's post:
Given the nature of this imaginary Kingdom, the idea of fantasy and fun, and the topics of Lumping and Blobbing, Couching and Pupating, Sticky Brown Lips, The Official Walk, Nubile Slaves, and the National Food, and the serious humor aimed at anyone and everyone, and, whereas the Herstorical Curator is an intelligent and thinking and overeducated woman/lady (as in m'lady), and has used the concomitant Gentleman in proclamations, and whereas we are deciding not only how to treat the females of Lumptonia, but also how to keep the Esteemed Labrador out of the dog house long enough to evolve a bit, I shall not sway from including the Havenmaster's recommendations in the Archives.
I will however annotate with the posts (word for word) that were vehemently opposed to the Havenmaster's remarks.
The Right Honorable Herstorical Curator and High Priestess of Research
