I suggest to you that this conflict has become so polarized that no one is making any sense anymore. Surely CH and X couldn't be as extreme in their thinking as the recent posting suggests any more than the posse could really have thought that what CH did was actionable. Hysteria on one side has been met with hysteria on the other.

I'm beginning to think that this extended conflict is as much about differences in temperament, a war over affect, as anything. My own is more like X's or CH's than it is like Solon's or E's so their underlying premises resonate with me, but those premises have been taken way too far when it's suggested that we can know nothing of each other in this medium and that one is a sucker to think otherwise.

I don't see any way to undo that polarization. I don't think a rational discussion can be had in this climate.
