I said, "I am responsible." That is I am "response-willing- and-able."

I posted yesterday that like you and CH, I find much of this entertaining. I also am quite serious about much of the content I post. I also posted how I believe that I am different. That is, consideration should be granted for any harm that may occur in the process.

I am willing and able to respond to the flow of the events related to the thread dynamics. I am responsive and willing to accept my share of responsibility in the interaction and to atone for any valid offenses on my part. I have noted that most of the posters are.

"But why would you prolong something you repudiate?"

I do not see the potential for this thread to thrive as a vehicle of topical discussion until all have "moved on" from "the game." I actually only see CH and you treating it as a game. I could be wrong about you because the X is a very confusing entity. However, there is no question that CH is playing everybody. Everyone else has done there part, CH is the hold up.

The game is prolonged until someone wins. As it is clear (to most of us) that it is a no win situation, the game stops being prolonged when all have done their part to stop prolonging it.

I, however, disagree with you that I am prolonging anything by being responsive. If it were apparent that an end was reached by my silence that would be different.

I will continue to be responsive whether the topic of discussion is on items from the news room or on the CH's game. If resolution is reached on the latter then I will continue to claim responsibility or at least my niche in it.
