Here's a question for you, Neo.

Suppose that a week after the agreement, or whatever you want to call it, that Laz and I made, I had suddenly started posting to and about Poet.

How many people here would think that I had broken an agreement I had made?

How many people here would have called me a liar, dishonest, etc.?

And when they did, as you know they would, would you have come in and said "no, there was no agreement, there was no contract, there was no promise, CH wasn't bound by anything, he was free to post to Poet despite all he had said"?

In truth, would you have said that?

Forgive me for prejudicing your answer, but if you say that you wouldn't have criticized me for that, but would have defended my right to post to Poet because there was no agreement or deal or contract worth anything, and I was free not to comply with it, I will find it hard to believe you.

But I don't think your respect for truth will allow you to say that.

Will it?
