Logical consequences or Idiots, the Challenge

I just love the way the Duchy always reacts so appropriately. The White Tornado held a meeting. She had asked permission to have the meeting and permission was denied. She held the meeting anyway. Not everyone could attend the meeting so for those unable to attend, she sent a pigeon to everyone summarizing the meeting. The Black Castle erupted with fury...not about the unauthorized meeting, about the pigeon. OK, we all know that the Black Castle is allergic to pigeons, but given the current state of technology in the Duchy, that's what we're stuck with. Obviously we need streaming video, our own chat room and instant messaging so we would avoid all those messy feathers. Given that the problem was the pigeon, was the White Tornado barred from the pigeon loft, like Silver? No, that apparently would have been logical. Instead the White Tornado was forbidden from holding meetings without a representative of the Black Castle being present! Maybe they figure if they are actually at the meeting, they can kidnap White afterwards and prevent her from getting to the pigeon loft? Fat chance. Remember O'Henry, "The ransom of Red Chief"?

In other events, the SNEAC Peace talks have again been cancelled. I guess hostilities have broken out again, as evidenced by the lack of paper towels in No-man's Land.
