"Or they could all have accepted the invitation offered many times to let the dead past bury its past and move forward."

Lets get something straight: I don't require any apology from you; nor do I think Laz, JLA or others do. You have not hurt me. I have no need for a "reconciliation" feast with you. You don't even pretend that the feelings and thoughts "you" toss onto the thread have anything to do with a real person. So why would I wish to feast with a shade??

I am positive that the others DO wish to move on. But just like in face to face...nobody wants to see you "get away with it" to use a term I think Neo brought up awhile back. It is the way people are. It is part of the evolution of society and the formation of social trust.

The alternative explanation--that everybody just hates you because you're a good guy, and all the others are just bastards--is not an explanation that "explains" anything. Your continued reliance on it serves to expose the lacunae in your ability to assess the nature of things...
