..that psoriatics were referred to as "silver people" in Medieval times? I've searched everywhere and can't find anything.

(I admit I was hoping that the post would read '...that he is as metal as fuck?')

or "that he played chess with death?"

...that we killed him?

...that he's not a Britishes?

...that he deserves his place amongst the pantheon of Isis, Mastodon, Agalloch and Orbital?

Psoriasis IS silvery when it first appears. I did a search and found no references to "the silver people" though, asides from references to the Scott quote itself.
