You have long refused to recognize her abrasiveness. She has a long, bad history with many, many people, myself included.

I recognize it. But it's irrelevant to my point and it's distracting you from the issue. After she weighed in, you may have reacted to her abrasiveness or out of your dislike of her. But at the point where you created SMBR to exclude CH, she was not a factor. The tactics made her a factor.

My memory is fuzzy about why she wasn't a factor and I'm too lazy to research it. She might have been on hiatus at the time or over on Kissy or something. In any event, she made a point of going back to Beanies to make a point about that tactic. Sure, she might have gotten into it later because of her dislike for you or JLA or whomever. Or she might have stayed out of it because of her dislike for CH. I don't know. I just know that, as it played out, your actions triggered her cozying up with CH. And that was not a good thing for your cause. Or for any of us.

In every contest, there are events that turn out to be crucial. X's move back to Beanies to keep CH company was one of them. And it was avoidable. Which makes it a mistake. Which you won't accept as such.

I know I never saw any sign of any such planning. Everybody largely did their own thing.

I understand that things were only loosely coordinated. My usage of "you" is plural and diffuse. I'm not trying to make any one accountable. And I'm certainly not lobbying for any apologies. I'm just trying to flesh out the scenario to include the complete picture.
