I salute your continuation of this project. What I get from this is that Blitzen had a lesser talent and being unable to properly skewer his targets publicly and thus rouse additional opposition from them, merely made enemies who assigned him quietly to a backwater that made his efforts even more futile. At least that's what I made of the narrative. Given the internet and broad access to both information and a public platform, I'm not sure Blitzen could be as easily silenced today.

I'll get there eventually!
I'm convinced most of these poems are true accounts with the use of an alias here and there.
