But what you seem to be saying is the cops should just sit back and watch bloody murder. LOL!!!!! You are not the cops. SI has cops. SI has rules and laws. Complaints were made to the cops. They refused to intervene because no rules or laws of SI were broken. So, as Karen noted, the vigilantes decided to take the "law" into their own hands. They decided to form a virtual lynch mob. Following in the footsteps of the KKK and other right wing organizations. And, like them, you boast of taking the law into your own hands and offing (or in this case trying to off) those uppity others.

What would you have had us do? I appreciate your point. I really do. One set the tone for three and one was something you couldn't control. But you didn't have to feed off it as much as you did. The histrionics were just unbearable. And the them and us tack, where you treated people like Neo and me, who weren't your opponents, as though we were. You could have pursued your interests with a modicum of decorum and not made such a spectacle out of squashing CH. And you could have acknowledged the excesses, at least some of them. I don't want to see another of your collections of posts, please. You and I have been there, done that. <g>
