Oh, for crying out loud JC.
Apparently you felt identified (or left out, I'm not sure which). For the sake of clarity, but to no other benefit that I can think of, I will review a brief section of the history. It really has no baring on what is happening at this point but more grist for the mill, I guess.
Quite a while back, I think it was about the time that Poet was suspended by SI Admin, there were some related scenarios being acted out. At around this time, X and kholt were teasing (I think) about not having been stalked by CH, and how they felt left out. This went on for quite a while. I don't remember if there were others contributing to the thing or not. CH was involved in the discussion at the time, as were you (with a slightly more serious tone, as I recall). The mood of the discussion was that there was a misunderstanding and that CH had become the victim of an over reaction. So, there were some challenges that amounted to an almost counter charge on Poet's personality as well as some fairly jokular as well as pointless posts in this vein. Well, in the midst of this I raised the question about Poet's suspension and the reasons given for it, which did not seem justified. I asked if there was some other motive(s) for the suspension that contributed to the decision; including if some individual poster had a personal vendetta that was being engaged. Clearly no one was able to show just cause as to why Poet was singled out to be suspended for the reasons given; yet, no information was forthcoming on the suspension issue, so it was simply dropped, as unresolved. You, at the time, were an adamant and defiant defender of CH and his character and were particularly incensed that I would suggest such a thing.
So, it appears you are drudging up two (or more) issues. The questionableness (or not) of Poet's suspension and me being the one who pressed the question. The second issue being the light heartedness that some people made of CH's behavior a while back. Well, I guess the third issue could be that if somebody was acting like a pig that makes me a donkey or something....I don't really get it, nor do I see it worth much of my energy.
"Do such terms as "jumping to conclusions" and "guilt by association" ring any bells for you?"
You are apparently carrying quite a grudge over it. Let me know if there is anything I can say or do (within reason) to lighten your load.
So, if we aggree that this sums it up, are we done or do we need to go all through this again now that Tom C, a relative newcomer, has your ear. |
