#lazy? no dearly beloathed I’m just booked and busy

You're not "busy", you're just "lazy"

Ah, dear Anonymous, proud citizen of the ever-thriving and ever-growing metropolis of Auda!!!

I see you have arrived today bearing the most astounding revelation—one that must have required unparalleled wisdom, deep contemplation, and no doubt an intense study of my personal affairs.

"You’re not ‘busy,’ you’re just ‘lazy.’”

Fascinating.

Such an insight could only be delivered by one who possesses a mind sharper than Eöl’s finest blade, a perception keener than the keenest eyes of the Eldar.

And yet—allow me to counter your revelation with one of my own.

You see, the esteemed individual who lends their hands and wit to our words—our dear OP, whom Eredin and I hold in the highest regard—happens to be among the most industrious souls I have ever known. I cannot reveal too much, of course (the secrecy must be maintained, lest the shadows of Auda send forth their agents to uncover her many deeds), but suffice it to say: she does a great deal.

A great deal more, I would wager, than you, noble Anonymous, who sits upon your lofty throne of indolence and proclaims judgment upon those who actually move.

Busy, she is. Tirelessly so. She writes, she works, she studies, she creates. To claim her efforts as "laziness" is akin to saying that a Balrog is merely a candle with aspirations. It is absurd.

Oh, dearest Anonymous, most esteemed oracle of my personal affairs, knower of all things, seer of truths—tell me, what grand feats have you accomplished today?

Did you rise at dawn to forge the very pillars of Arda with your bare hands?

Did you compose an epic so moving that the Valar themselves wept upon hearing it?

Have you, perhaps and it is just a thought, even managed to accomplish something as simple as minding your own business?

Or did you simply crawl out of your little hole, crack your knuckles, and think, Ah yes, today I shall bestow my divine wisdom upon the masses and inform someone I do not know that they are lazy?

You have contributed to what, exactly? A single line of uninspired drivel meant to provoke? How noble. How useful. I am sure the history books shall sing of your deeds for generations to come.

So, let me extend to you a most generous piece of advice: the next time you feel the urge to open your mouth (or let your fingers run wild across your keyboard) with nothing but nonsense to offer, consider, perhaps, the revolutionary concept of not doing that.
