Canie,

The last paragraph, translated into English, states that EQF has friends who will harm Cathyrn if she insults him again. There's no other way to read it.

Several card-carrying seismologists have told me EQF is the largest impediment to participation around here. Arguing facts and theories can be fun, but scientists do not enjoy threats and cloak-and-dagger science fiction.

There is a problem.
