"Your noxious outburst shows me, once and for all, that you are not only and idiot, but an ignoble, mean- spirited, guttersnipe........" OK. You have a foul mouth. Part of my point was to demonstrate that. I am happy to say that you far exceeded expectations. Congratulations! However, it is more important that my other intent be realized consciously rather than swept under the table in your gush of malice. I did not disrupt your family or household in any way, now did I?? I simply insinuated that I saw something suspect in the behaviour you described. See how you bristled? See how you responded like a drunken sailor on the wharf? Now consider how disrespectful you have been to Poet and her husband and her children. Husband and wife have been forced to forego their privacy to publicly stand together and ask CH as a family team to please leave them alone. They have had to talk to the police. They have had to involve the law, and they have had to bear the shame of being public spectatcles. Can you imagine the grief and distress they have endured? Then, what happened? After a public plea that CH leave his wife alone, CH posts what is perhaps the most sinister in-your-face taunt that has ever appeared on SI: "Did you see, Poet, that E claimed that we have no relationship? How wrong she is. We've had a relationship for years, now, and we still have one. Sometimes it's been very strong, sometimes it's been a bit strained, sometimes it's been rocky. Right now we're going through one of the rocky periods. I recognize that. But that's okay. Ups and downs happen in all relationships. I understand that for a while, at least, you're choosing to talk to me through others, indirectly, rather than posting to me directly, and that's okay. I understand that it'll take some time for us to get back on track. But we can work on it. Meanwhile, it's okay with me if you want to keep communicating through others for the time being. It doesn't hurt my feelings." I have said probably less than anyone on this thread. I thought it was best to leave everything alone and to let CH make his own bed if he was of a mind, and let the law takes its slow but sure course. However, your intrusiveness in the matter in such a disrespectful and dismissive manner, led me to probe you gently, as the most visceral and effective method for helping you to appreciate that this is not some egghead game for you to demonstrate your word dancing skills. These are REAL people who have been wounded. They have suffered REAL harm. Their lives have been marked and sullied by tawdry and cheap attacks. But is that your concern? No. Your concern is to screech your private rage at me because I merely wondered at the manner in which you protect your own wife. Do you get any of this? Or am I just wasting my time in trying to point out what is so obvious to everyone else?
