I have been unable to nail down the exact CH post in this episode which may have caused the poet terrible fright.

That is because You are a fool, Michael. Poet asked Christopher not to post to her. It was clearly personal, and of no interest to you.

The proneness of a person to histrionics has nothing to do with the issues being addressed. The issue is whether or not people can choose their public response to differences, independently of their own conscience.

Well, it seems he thinks that when people he generally agrees with make requests of others they should be complied with, but when people he generally disagrees with make requests of him he has no moral or other obligation to comply with them.

Quite typical, I think. Different standards for others than for himself.
