"You mentioned earlier dealing with one piece at a time. I had responded to E's post about multiple, concurrent elements. I really, really think that it's essential to look at the totality of this matter to have any understanding of it. Poet IS manipulative; JLA IS harsh; X DID pull the rug out from under the plan; CH DID wrong Poet, etc. It's all part of the stew. The single-minded focus on squashing CH did not accomplish anything.

I agree. I personally have made several attempts to address the intelligent and rational CH, in efforts to deal logically with the elements of this thing. I find him to respond personably and fairly up and to the point where he is expected to account for his own behavior. It is a, happy to talk the talk...long as its only the talk we're talking about, problem. I have found him to be deceitful and inconsiderate when he sees the opportunity to, as he puts it "make points." He sees everyone else as he sees himself in the scenario. The problem is, they are not. Most of the participants have bent over backward to see his POV and to work from that to seek some progress toward resolution.

A few have gotten totally fed up with the gamesmanship response and have written him off. Not everyone has been singlemindedly attempting to quash CH during the course of this "thing." E has been falsely accused of it even though she tried very hard to come up with an ameniable solution for a while. The same is true of JLA. Laz has offered to be a doormat solution on more than one occassion. etc. etc. etc. Many people have put their best efforts into seeing this worked out in a way that saves face for CH only to have their own faces spat upon. To his credit Neocon refused the opportunity.
