Forgive me for weighing in on this. I don’t usually butt-in on this kind of conversation.

It was not too far back that you had been joshing with a couple of posters about the stalking accusations.

I remember it differently. I remember her trying to avoid joshing about this, repeatedly. Still others tugged and tugged. The general tenor was, either you’re for us or against us, step forward, tell us where you stand.

My reaction to this would be to tell you to screw yourself. I’m not a part of your groupthink. As much as Chris disgusts me you’d be asking me to join a mob. I’d push back by saying unexpected things peripheral to your issue, like observing how you are behaving. That’s not siding or defending Chris. If you are going to start judging people please try not to be hypocritical. Where is the outcry for “MissyFit” who JLA et al chased to the comfort of moderated threads.
.
The "buster" comments were a breath of fresh air.

I thought that this was consistent with her earlier comments. Show me where she ever said anything to bolster Chris. If someone says you are acting like an ass it doesn’t mean someone else is not an ass.

I agree with all of your arguments about using overstatement terms. It definitely hurts the position of the person using the term.

When you blow something up to monstrous proportions don’t expect everyone to agree with you.

Opps… I see Karen has answered you, I’m going to go read it.

Edit: A comment about "MissyFit". She does have some whacky ideas but that not a justification for harassing her.
