Christopher/Arinnian thinks that the colonists of Avalon wanted to escape from the old way of life whereas Tabitha/Hrill replies:
"'I've read Falkayn's writings. He and his followers wanted not one thing except unmolested elbow room.'"
-Poul Anderson, The People Of The Wind IN Anderson, Rise Of The Terran Empire (Riverdale, NY, 2011), pp. 437-662 AT Chapter VI, p. 501.
In other words, they wanted nothing more than the freedom that I argued here is abundant on Avalon.

Kaor, Paul!
And people who, like Christopher Holm, flirt with ideas of a "purer" society, come dangerously close to being on the path leading to them becoming fanatical ideologues, grimly and ruthlessly using force to impose their visions on all the rest of us. Tabitha Falkayn was far more balanced and sensible than "Arinnian" was in Chapter VI of THE PEOPLE OF THE WIND.
