I would analyze this differently: She ended up where she is because she had no place else to go. That long, bad history got in the way. Her choice was either make common cause on the other side of this issue or be entirely on her own. Laz, you may recall that, when you started SMBR, it was a few days before I posted on it. During that time, I was struggling with my own moral dilemma regarding whether or not to participate. During that time, X and I had extended discussions on the subject. I'm reporting to you what transpired. You, or course, are free to ignore that and "analyze it differently" if you wish. maybe there could have been an agreement by JLA and E and Jewel and others and I to pretend to be her friend. There's a lot of space between pretending to be someone's friend and simply avoiding provocation. Maybe you can we fell into a trap. And maybe you can say there was a large hole in road we had to go down. Maybe. These critical events in campaigns are often apparent only in retrospect. I had a bad feeling about how this one would play out when X and I were discussing it, but I underestimated it's impact by a mile. Never thought it would have been so critical.

"I would analyze this differently: She ended up where she is because she had no place else to go. That long, bad history got in the way.

They both are only too aware (as they never tire of saying) that they are not real people, and as such are mere words "interacting" with other words (HA!)...not with character:-) I guess they are having intercourse with "words" also.;-) Interesting how words can have conversations, have intercourse, and "interact" with one another! I wonder if those words use condoms...<g> Hey! What a happy life! Gonna "interact" with some words! Gonna meet my needs for "interaction" and have some intercourse with words!! :-) After that maybe watch a movie, and "interact" with them :-)
