Your Grace Bishop Demetrios and Honorable Archon George Vourvoulias, To recap, the exact reason for this blog post might seem trivial, especially since, as Archon Vourvoulias insightfully noted, “words are meaningless!”—unless, of course, they are used to tell someone who came onto your lawn to insult you and a worthy brotherhood to “get a grip.” It’s fascinating how those words suddenly acquire so much weight. It’s genuinely heartwarming to see such dedication to social media engagement. Your Grace, I commend you for your mature response, especially the exemplary act of blocking me on social media. It’s a move that truly befits your esteemed status in the Church. I’m genuinely sorry for the distress caused by my simple suggestion to “get a grip.” Who knew my articulate retort to your insults would spark such a dramatic public meltdown? Rest assured, my intention is not to dismiss your concerns or your impressive ability to avoid offering any concrete solutions while barely articulating your expectations of what the Archons should do. As a non-official spokesman for the Order, I strive to create an environment where everyone's voice is heard and respected, even when it’s mostly hot air. While I understand that Your Grace’s previous experiences might have led to deep skepticism, I’m still committed to giving this matter the attention it seemingly never deserved; I mean, you have an archon defending your delicate honor... As for my efforts, I have tirelessly written, lectured, and visited the Kariye Djami mosque (formerly a museum and church) numerous times, including two weeks ago. I will continue to do so, unwavering in my commitment. And you, Your Grace? Do you have any similar exercises to share about Chora? Or perhaps your champion, Archon George, could share some of his insights and work in this sphere. I’ll wait. Regarding your paraphrased quote and oh-so-subtle insult, I appreciate the effort. Your Grace’s explicit virtue-signaling and attention-seeking behavior reminds me of the old saying: empty vessels make the most noise. Let's strive for constructive dialogue, free from such noise, which is vital for progress. I hope we can continue to engage in such discussions—receipts in hand. Let’s work together to ensure that clear communication remains a priority. If you have specific issues or questions to address, please share them. Hey, how about a leadership role? I'm ready and willing to facilitate a timely and thorough response, assuming I haven’t been blocked again by more sycophants by then. You likely decided to use me as the conduit because Your Grace's top-down attacks were aimed at higher-ups. I recommended that you get a grip, not pull a Cub. Archon Elias Comments are closed.
