it is about what happened

No, it isn't, X. It's about denying what happened, for some reason I really can't understand. I can compare what you've done to things I've seen and phenomena I've read about, but really, I can't know for sure why you allied yourself from the beginning with CH as he lyingly threatened or tormented or slandered your friends. Most impenetrable.

Another time I'll write about the ways in which The World Of SI is like, and is unlike, The World of 3D. I did that once before, I believe. It's not complex, it's common sense. Only ideology or cant or id-protection could imo generate the position that what people who spend hours and hours every day in this epistolary community are doing in the way of self-expression and feeling isn't "real" because their hundreds or thousands of communications here have been under the name "X" instead of "Alice Jones." Basically I think it's just self-serving cant. It's pedestrian thought. It's boring.

Each post is a personal expression of a self.

But I can't revisit this right now, really.

3D is increasingly overtaking SI in my life; but both remain real "communities" to me, and I've learned more about myself, and about the world, here than I have in some of the realms, or 3D "threads," in which I operate under a name instead of an initial.
