I, apparently, suck.

Just got a batch of links from my mate Charlie. Seems the Burning Times is another one of those myths, like that Pope Joan. Yes, witches [1] were tried and burned and tortured, but it wasn't a wholescale genocide sort of thing. At least, not during the times courts kept records. Of course, that only goes back to the age of the printing press and doesn't cover what happened to the Druids when Britain was invaded by the Romans, but then again, unless I work out how to summon the ghost of Magic Users Past, that's probably just another myth too.

So, you're all right, I'm wrong (again) and I'm going to stop attempting to be clever and go play with Meggan.

Edit: The links, since you lot obviously don't understand the words "I got it wrong":

There.

Newsflash, Forge: not everybody thinks the same way you do, or reacts to things the same way you do.

But hey, thanks for belittling how Amanda and I feel. Good job there. I particularly like the bit where the fact that there are only two branches of my entire family left in the world is irrelevant in the extreme.

Not belittling it - I can't change how you feel, I'm not Manuel. And your family situation isn't irrelevant - the HOW of it is, since you can't change or affect it. Being bent out of shape about it doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm not saying it's contemptible or trying to mock it. I don't understand it.
