We have a misunderstanding and some partial understanding. I'm quite sure that X has never expressed approval of what CH did to Poet, but rather has expressed disapproval. Yes, that's precisely what I was pointing out. That in fact she disapproved of CH's behavior toward Poet, but defended (her word) him nonetheless as he pursued the behavior. I understand why her opposition to some tactics of Poet's backers may have come across as support for Poet's enemy to thinkers less sophisticated than you, but I believe you can see the distinction. "Support" isn't the word she uses. She uses "defend." She "defended" CH for the behavior she didn't approve of because "the net is the place for bad behavior." X didn't say for only bad behavior. She just said for bad behavior. (She wants that to be clear.) You also wrote, "The "crusade" thing was not so provocative that you couldn't have overlooked it had you wanted to...." It was of course a hostile crack she had made in response to a civil disagreement. Was my reply either inappropriate or untoward, iyo? Message 17576375
