"Just do it. Just move on." This thread was established as a place to share, to exchange, to debate, to wrangle, to vent, etc but the underlying assumption in all of that is to allow as many as possible to come and imbibe in the thoughts of the day. It is unkind of you to play this self centered game in which there are limited outcomes. 1) People can all just move on. For this to happen we all have to move away from this thread. That destroys the life of the thread. 2) Everyone drop the issue and never discuss it under any circumstances. Obviously not practical under the current circumstances, so not applicable. 3) Shun CH and everyone else return to topical discussion. That was to some extent tried and successful for a while. X, then Neocon, then kholt, then me and others did not support the idea so eventually we went full circle right back to "its all about CH." 4) Everybody in the world atone to CH for what ever he deems necessary. Obviously not practical. 5) CH be a good guy. Requires that he admit to his behavior, express remorse over the damage done, and intent to improve the situation. It also requires that CH deal with his other issues (like complaints about other posters) as a separate issue(s).

Everything I've said to you today has been wasted. Whether or not it is just another one of your "acts", who can say. This "acting" has shown itself to be the overriding feature of your personality. Even when people have left the thread they have noticed from afar certain smug falsehoods being hinted at or outright stated. Human nature is that people don't want you to "get away with it" And I am sure there are some who just would like to see you find a better side of yourself. Everybody has moved on except you. For you "moving on" requires accountability. Drawing a curtain on the past does not "move beyond" it. It simply beomes your shadow instead of your friend.
