Are you taking the position that the fault in what happened was 100% mine and 0% Poet's or anybody else's?

That's what it sounds like, but I don't want assume without asking.

You are, again, talking about criminal behavior.

If you went to a park and sat on a bench with someone who kept saying things to you that you found objectionable, but the person broke no laws, you have a couple of options. You could find a different park; you could find a different bench; you could do something else with your time;or you could choose to sit on the bench and ignore the person. If you, however, choose to sit on the bench and argue with the person, or if you bring your friends down to heckle the person to get them off the bench, or if you get your friends to move to a bench across from this person, and taunt them, and say things like "NYAH NYAH NYAH You can't come sit on this bench...", then you are acting worse than most small children, and you are more than complicit; you are in fact now driving all bad behavior that results from the situation. IMO
