Nice guy, huh? What if that were you instead of YYB.
Oh, and if I recall correctly, he also stated that he and she had exchanged HOT PMs.
2. Those hot PMs? He said the same about E.
3. And Poet.

4. He persistently ignored Poet's begging and pleading that he leave her alone.
5. Poet got an SI nototoorabout.

6. CH, being sure that big lawyer bullyboy tactics would always work and that he was King of the World, threatened SI with a lawsuit. SI backed down.

7. St_Bill, Poet's husband, asked CH to leave Poet alone. He ignored it.

8. The minister bit: He claimed on IHUB he was a minister. When challenged on the matter on SI, he evaded. He didn't deny saying it, but he got as close as he could without explicitly denying it. He did allow Neo and JLA to stand up and fight the charges against him- -knowing they were true. When IHUB improved their search tool to allow searching a single poster's post- -BINGO! there they were. JLA was incensed. I don't blame him one bit.
I have the posts to make the case if you want to see them. I won't post them here because there are quite a few, but if you want them, just ask.
9. JLA and E made an honest effort to broker a settlement. CH refused it.
10. A number of us got a shunning campaign against CH going. It was actually pretty successful- -he definitely noticed. But it wasn't good enough. It didn't stop the war. It didn't settle matters.
11. All this time, months and months on end, BB was consumed, eaten alive by the controversy surrounding that egomaniac CH who HAS to be the center of attention.
12. Finally, to put a stop to the war and to get some worthwhile discussion going again, I started SMBR. It worked. It got reasonable, interesting discussion going again, it stopped the interminable war that had consumed BB, and it got CH off Poet's back.
13. SMBR was started on 2/27. On 3/2- -2 days later- -I started negotiations with CH about admitting him to the thread. He would not agree to notoorabout conditions we felt were necessary to make such a thing effective. He instead on conditions which would allow loopholes. The negotiations broke down after 2 days.
There was a secrecy agreement binding on him, me, and E (who was also involved and CH was aware of that). We kept the agreement until he broke it.

This is the tale end of the post exchange. Note that CH was just caught in another lie.

14. On 4/22 he began the exchange with me in which he threatened to resume harassing Poet unless he was allowed on the thread. I refused and sent the PMs to Poet. We waited to see if CH would make good on his threat. He did:
