Well, I don't view attempts to resolve a problem as unacceptable, frankly. Look out there. Sharon may wind up agreeing to talk to Arafat. Cuba is making overtures to the US. North Korea and South Korea are able to talk. Makes our little spats here on SI pale to insignificance, doesn't it? Peacemaking is not a bad thing.

There are two possibilities here: 1). CH behaved so offensively that Poet is making a rational response to his actions; 2). Poet is a bit of a headcase, and is behaving irrationally in making such a big issue of CH's teasing. Suppose case 2: Then CH is toying with someone unbalanced, and one wants to know what is worth the trouble, the pain (even if wholly subjective), or the bother to other posters? It may not be fair, but why torment her, or make a spectacle of oneself? Indeed, this has dragged on so long that I can no longer tolerate CHs coyness about the matter. I try to ignore it, but then people PM comments to me, or I come over to see what everyone is doing while more substantive discussions fall away. I wish everyone would shut the ----- up about it, and get on with things. (I know, the news about Poet made that impossible. I have a vision of an old Zenith, with a globe on the screen, and a voice over announcing "As the World Turns", my greatgrandmother's favorite).........
