Yep.

And those came about specifically because Poet was involved in the decision to continue to deny me access to the SMBR.

For several months I left her strictly alone. Demonstrated clearly that those who claimed all sorts of idiotic things, like that I was obsessed with her, like that I couldn't leave her alone, were simply wrong. But when I sought some reciprocal benefit for complying with her wishes, she, through her cohorts, said no.

So she was enjoying what she wanted, but continuing to prevent me from continuing to enjoy what I wanted. That's not equitable.

So I decided that if we couldn't both have what we wanted, neither of us should. Sounds fair to me.

She can go right back to gettnig what she wants if she really wants it. If she liked being left totally alone for the past several months, she can go right back to that. And she knows it. But if what she really wants is continued conflict, which appears from the circumstances to be her actual, though not her stated, goal, then that's what will happen. It's her choice.
