I don't think he wants legal proceedings, since he has a wife, but it has occurred to me that his desire to engage with Poet ("heal" their "relationship" a "relationship" that has been going on for "years," and has been in the past "very strong," and is just in "a rocky patch" right now, but they will "work on it" "work" he will do "directly" with Poet...) may be stronger than his instinct for self preservation.

He is not in control of himself, is my definite impression. This is scary to a woman.

And since I've outline here how I think he might actually get onto SMBR (okay, the apology part was, though appropriate, unrealistic) w/o Poet's feeling threatened (as she sure has a right to) and he chooses instead the above creepy route, I can't help but wonder if SMBR is actually what he wants, or this hideous rubbing-up-against an unwilling, repelled, woman who had made absolutely clear that his attentions, threats, and sexual insinuations frighten her and whose husband has had to step in and has also asked CH to cease all his attentions to his wife, is what he likes. Doing it. Knowing how it makes her feel, doing it, in front of everyone.

Something very creepy going on in that. And he can't stop, I don't think. Even today he talked about their "relationship," and "healing it."

Edit: continued....

P.S.

Remember:

The man has insinuated that he has personal information about Poet, information about her life, that he might post, information that she wouldn't want known because it is in its nature private. He has already made reference online to a family situation involving her daughter. He has insinuated -- more than insinuated -- that he has in his possession compromising communications that he may also post publicly, for all (including her husband) to see. There are sexual insinuations in his allusions. He has sexual feelings about them, or wants us, and Poet, to think he does, clearly.

I think people forget that he has done these obsessed, vicious, caddish, scary, nutty things to Poet. It sort of slips their minds because it is so amazing that these things have happened on SI -- and been allowed to happen because...

he threatened to sue SI unless they would let him continue to engage with her!

so they removed the restriction and have left her to him.

And he has fully used the liberty to harass her he won by the legal threat. His psychological frottage continues even today.

I think people literally forget what he's been doing. But if it were their wife, or daughter, they wouldn't forget so easily. They would have retained an attorney long ago.
