What actually happened is that you said you didn't turn Poet in and I made the point (one you still seem peculiarly incapable of grasping) that if, hypothetically, you had said, to, say, Dithers, something like, "Gee, Poet complains that the TOU regarding harassment aren't enforced, but she violated the TOU herself by having a second accn't under the name of apply_liberally!"... If that had happened, you would be able to say that you "had nothing to do with" turning Poet in, and yet you would have been--ever so innocently-- the supplier of the information that Dithers, in this example, used to get Poet suspended.

Your repeated assertions that Jeff's statement that you didn't turn Poet in yourself constituted proof that you "had nothing to do with it," are clearly foolish.

Again, I say, and please pay more attention this time: I don't know if you are the one who supplied the information that Poet posted as apply_liberally to the one who told that to Jeff.

I have no way of knowing, do I?

What's more, I don't care. It's no big deal. Poet violated the TOU by setting up that accn't, and even though it was a year ago, she's doin' the time for the crime, and putting the time to good use.

Also, after you said that I knew about Poet's other accounts, I told you that I didn't. But you continued to claim that I did.

You knew about apply_liberally. Maybe you didn't know that apply_liberally had changed handles to twee, though. Are you lying?... Well, maybe you forgot.

So when Poet gets back from suspension I will do what I can to mend my fences directly with her.

Reminder: Poet has begged you, over and over, to leave her alone. The persistence of your unwelcome attentions and insinuations frighten her. She does not want to hear from you directly or indirectly.

Her husband has also asked you here, publicly, not to post to his wife again. Why are you threatening again to do so, "directly"?

In fact, a former friend of yours went so far as to provide a place for Poet to post without your being able to harass her (after SI ceased to enforce the TOU against harassment when you threatened to sue them to let you continue to engage her against her will). Your words above are merely a continuation of this disgusting theme of yours:

I've definitely lost interest in being any sort of intermediary for you, though. I've become convinced that I really shouldn't feel sorry for you. Good luck. I think you have gone too far and are going to need it.
