you could at the least find it fairly obvious that it would CHANGE THINGS...yet several times you denied the ability to grasp the notion... I, too, think it would change things. I don't see how you got the impression that I thought otherwise. My question was HOW things might change, not IF they would change. Asking how they might change assumes that there would be some change, for heaven's sake. Your answer was that "it has been spelled out." I thought I had missed a spelling lesson. Apparently not. Just a misunderstanding. I didn't answer your questions because I am not a seer That was Poet's response, as well. That's fair. But perhaps you could speculate on how it might affect you. I infer that your own attitude towards CH could be expected to warm, right? Do you think you would continue to rehash the subject or that you would likely forget about it? Would it be likely to impact your attitude towards X, for example? You two used to be chummy, as I recall. Or is that another matter? Would you expect that you and JLA would continue to be chummy post apology or would you expect to revert back to demolib pinhead status, or it's replacement, the FAL? I realize that the last question is out of your control, but I would think you'd have some idea of how you, yourself, would react to the event.

Even if you don't know exactly what changes will occur (you probably cannot answer impossible questions about the future, either), you could at the least find it fairly obvious that it would CHANGE THINGS You simply keep parroting the same points without any basis in fact for your assertions. Let me be specific. If I apologized contritely to Poet, do you really believe that JLA would suddenly drop all his hostility toward me and view me as a honorable poster who should be treated with respect and consideration? If you have that illusion, I feel sorry for you. His mind is made up, and he is incapable of unmaking it no matter what I do. And if you can't see that, you can't see much about human nature.
