I know that but... are you prepared to deal with 20 or fifty posts from solon. He will start by parcing out phrases of yours and hypothesising on your motives. He will eventually associate you with people who enslave blacks and incinerate Jews or some such equally bizzarre extrapolation. He will draw his own defracted conclusions, judge you over them and demand apologies. Just wondering if you can handle it? It would be cool if you could hang in there with a polite demeaner the whole time just as sort of an experiment. I know it isn't totally honest but experiments are special cases.

I know you think that... and you did a pretty good job of summing up at least part of the dynamic. The part that you didn't include was the part in which karen was playing a hit and run game and not being accountable for her contribution. She was attempting to manage things and me while trying to push her dog along in the scrap. She was wearing more than one cap and not copping to it. Solon was being treacherous with his character assassinations of me and of mojo. I am used to that from solon. But then I see karen making a comment to him that jewel seems to have a blood pressure problem with a little <g> of approval.... That, to me, was a deliberate attempt to enable and bolster his maniacle ego ... her dog was licking itself. I consider that somewhat out of character for karen. She appeared to have more invested in the discussion than she would cop to. She definitely needed to be held accountable for it and it is frustrating to see her playing a victim and you validating it. This is the septic tank not the seminar thread after all. I consider claims to not have a side to be calculated for effect and dishonest (with exceptions such as making soup, of course).
