Poet over-reacted AND CH should have stopped.
1. Maybe. And maybe not. You use the word "brutal" below. Well I'd class a good deal of what was thrown at her as "brutal".

2. And yes, undoubtedly CH should have stopped. He was offered many opportunities to retire from the field with some sort of honor along the way. And refused them all.

Poet's posse was over the top AND CH is one stubborn mother.
1. Maybe. I'd say the over the top part was caused by #2, though. It's somewhat like shouting at a deaf person because they can't hear you. And, yes, just as productive.
2. Absolutely.

JLA is brutal AND X has been spouting some really inane blather.
1. I suspect even JLA would agree with that at times. But that same statement can be made about many people, including myself.
2. True. Probably true of all of us. But, actually, X is peripheral to this whole problem. She's not the cause of it. While she may have committed many sins in the eyes of others, I can think of nothing she has done that has even gotten close to this.

CH really hurt Poet AND the posse contains a bunch of enablers and co-dependents.
1. Absolutely.
2. Who be the "enablers and co-dependents"? I know I acted on my own here. At every point the decision as to what to do and the responsibility for it were mine. And I think that applies equally to all. JLA never made me post anything nor I him. I wouldn't even try. It would piss him off and blow in my face. And similar statements apply to E, Jewel, CR, Yogi, .....
That comment verges on psychobabble.

Regarding your "best of" posts, I'd be happy to look at them if that's of value to you.
It's not of value to me. I know what happened. It might be to you, though. I think you may have forgotten some of what happened along the way.
