I believe "I can understand why you might want to see it the way you put it in your post" in a post implying you have sympathy for Poet and sympathy for CH (as do I, for both), and objecting to "bad behavior" implies that your concern is bad behavior on my part. Did I get this right?

I've tried to have good behavior and to be helpful and to call a spade a spade and not allow obfuscation where it hurts a friend of mine.

I'd like to ask you for a solution to this problem. Do you have a better one than the one I've sought in the best way I know how? I mean, other than advising "the timorous" to "stay at home"?

Re BIA. The reason she's in the header is that if alluding publicly to a fellow poster having purportedly sent one sexual PM's with the implication you might present those online is wrong for CH it's wrong for her. BIA's claim, and intimation, was made in the same stream of posts. If she hadn't done what CH did she wouldn't have been excluded.

Again: would you offer yourself as a mediator in this matter? You are a friend of both Poet's and CH's, recently, and clearly have an idea of how things could be handled more sensitively than those who've been trying hard to mediate have done. If you offer to handle this in a better way, I suspect both Poet and CH would be grateful. I would be.

FYI, I got a PM from Laz saying that he's PM'd both CH and BIA to ask if they'd like their names removed from the header. If they would, of course they will be. (If then they start being discussed, it will have to be handled as it happens.)

You didn't reply to why you asked Laz not to post to or about you if the Ignore feature is just fine for Poet.
