Let me try. Maybe you should give up trying.
Many of us had seen our nuetral and rational comments twisted to be something else along time ago; and so had taken a more cautious and critical tone in our contributions to the discussion.
Talk about self-serving claptrap! If you believe what you wrote, you are sadly lacking in self-awareness. You, Jewel, more than anyone, relished taking on the role of Grand Inquisitor when it came to the bizarre witch-hunt to pin blame on someone (anyone would do) for Poet's suspension. Neutral? Rational? Cautious? LOL
It was discouraging and confusing. I used the word "bolstering" as I saw the thing entangeled with another frequent flyer here, which complicated the matter further. Perhaps enabling would be a more exact word. However, the relationship you conveyed regarding CH was quite similar.
No one, Jewel, has been more "entangled" with a cadre of other posters, nor demonstrated more need to win their approval, than yourself (note the "many of us" above). And tell us, please, who is the "frequent flyer" here who has a "relationship" with CH, and just how did you come to learn of this relationship? Are you willing to share the evidence which supports your knowledge of this relationship? (Surely, you would not place yourself in the position of claiming a relationship where none exists, would you? Don't I recall your condemning others for that?)
Do such terms as "jumping to conclusions" and "guilt by association" ring any bells for you? |
