Well, Part II was responsive.

You went to a lot of trouble making that post, and I don't wish to appear as blowing it off with too short of a reply (I read every word you wrote).

It seems to me that a major premise you are setting forth is that making a judgment of "harassment" requires considerable study of the mental and emotional states of both alleged harasser and harassee. Your alleged harassment was extenuated by your own emotional state, while X's peception of harassment was exaggerated due to her emotional state at the time. Similarly, CH's alleged harassment should be magnified by some ratio in proportion to the PTSD condition that Poet had declared. (I am not sure where CH's own mental and emotional state might fit into this theory in either diminishing or exacerbating the severity of his harassment).

I guess plain-speakers might just say, "harassment is in the eyes the beholder" (whether the beholder is harasser, harassee, or disinterested third party).

Maybe that itself explains why the CH/Poet controversy will seemingly never be laid to rest.
