"End of rant."

Excellent summation.

"People claim something is true,

And some people kick the first domino and exit through a back door when they think no one is looking; only to reenter through the front after all the dominoes have fallen, acting all aghast at the distruction that has taken place.

Lets argue about something else...

It always ticks me off when X steps back and plays the aloof role after kicking the domino (to use JOW's analogy).

X is not only a liar, she is a bad back seat driver.

X made a big deal out of Laz's posting of the CH/Poet evidentiary history, thus restarting the CH/Poet controversy.

She got all over Bill and I for our involvement.

She passes judgement on everyone with an opinion/brain then
piously proclaims her lack of involvement or any fault in causing the issue to resurface on the bb thread. "I have posted very few posts on this AND I did not restart the issue."

Message 17533081

Well, that is just not true. She showed up and played coy with CH for several days. She begged to be one of his stalkies, made mocking references to the nature of his dilemma, posted comments and related links about the nature of on line psychology, etc. Karen, you even got involved. The culmination of which was CH proclaiming that people who couldn’t handle it were simply not up to "their level." At this point Jewel made, IMO, a miniscule objection and was chastised for it by neo, emma, and kholt. Someone else refered to the behavior as "dancing on graves."

This was all before Laz posted his comprehensive list of linking evidence and way before Bill and myself became reactivated on the issue.

She restarted it, stirred the pot, and passed judgement on the fireworks display that resulted.

That's how it looks to me.

Circumstantial proof and inference is enough to convict people and put them in jail.

There are different standards of proof. The facts that Laz didn't post on SI that night and that X's claim is for only a two hour window lead a rational person to conclude that she likely wasn't banned.
