I thought of that very possibility on November 18-- and so questioned Christopher in detail as to whether that could be basis on which he was claiming that Poet had badmouthed our troops. In no prior or subsequent post of his did he claim it was the explanation for the fictional "scenario" he posted, and when I offered it myself as an explanation four days before you did, he did not assent to it. So you and I have both offered CH a psychological rationalization for his calumny, ie a moment of high emotion. But he has continued for days to reiterate the calumny, never once taking the opportunity to say, "What she did do was to say dissenters shouldn't be called traitors and to say that those who do that are not fine exemplars of patriotism, but I myself I feel that defending dissent was an attack on our young men. Even though Poet supports our military policy and troops."

So, Neo, here is my post proposing your hypothesis to CH four days ago:

Message 16677299

Neo, we both know that he has had plenty of opportunity to explain that that was what he meant by the scenario in which Poet dissed our "young men" and he rose to their defense, and that was what "started all this" between them.

I have more to post to you on this subject! (Yay!) You will see I pretty much exhausted it, giving CH much opportunity to confess that it was his excuse for posting what he did about Poet.

Yet only yesterday, he wrote "I am satisfied with the accuracy of my statements."
