"You think you know me, but you are in fact quite wrong. But hang on to your illusions, if you want. They don't hurt me any. These statements have little or nothing to do with the post you were responding to. For starters there was absolutely no attempt to hurt you as you claim. I suggest you try something. Imagine that a good friend posted it and re-read it. Draw the card that allows you to play that role and see what happens.

Christopher, if I did not have an impression of you that made me resist the more lurid of the charges against you, I might have bought the whole kaboodle. Certainly, if I did not care if you were mistreated, I would not have brought grief on myself to try to mediate a fair resolution. Part of the reason I am sick of this line of thought is because it subtly suggests that I was a sucker to put myself out to seek a solution that was at once just and merciful. Considering that I do take hard fights with people I have considered friends, like jla, and that I dislike endless nattering, it was not a small matter to me to take a stand that although you were at fault and had to make some kind of amends, they were going overboard in hounding you. I could have just sat on the sidelines.........
