Gang? What gang? What there was was a number of people who individually came to the conclusion that a number of wrongs had been committed and then individually acted to stop them. If you or X wish to consider that a "gang", you may do so. You're wrong, but you may do so. Before the war started, on political issues you would generally have Poet and X and sometimes E and you on one side of an issue and myself, JLA, and often CH on the other. Was either group a "gang"? Or were they people who happened to see matters in the same way? I'd say the use of the word "gang" is ludicrous, too. But if you wish to use it, at least be consistent. X and CH and Tom C are a "gang" also then. And shall the opinions and behavior of everyone else on this site be determined by X's hobbyhorses?

I did not receive PM's advising to pull for or against anyone. Maybe because people know I am lke a cat who walks alone... (EDIT: I did receive an email from E once a long time ago saying that CH was behaving reallly badly and directing me to a post (or perhaps, posts) he had made. If I recall correctly I had been away for a few days. To my knowledge there has neve been a "gang" approach to CH; but I admit to not being a "mixer", so I could very well be wrong...) EDIT again...it wasn't an "email", but a PM. I only remember it vaguely, but I think I have acurately conveyed the crux of it... DID YOU?? Please share with us in the interest of honesty, and an airing of the matter. It has been alluded to frequently: Did E or X or CH try to get you to be part of a "gang"? Did X PM you with pressure to adopt her position as part of her gang? Did anyone else? I realize it is none of my business, per se. Nothing beyond the self truly is. But there is no harm in asking you for an honest response on the assumption that we share a goal of getting to the facts, and that truth is better than evasiveness...
