THe meaning of that initial post was perfectly clear to me when I read it, if not to Michael and I guess you. And sometimes that happens (does to me a lot, where people come away with a whole different idea of what they heard me say than I thought I was saying), but when even after many tries at explanations, no one would listen to her, it got silly and intentional. It is obviously much more fun to accuse someone of killing their kids as Michael repeatedly accuses Iktomi than to say, oh, ok. I see what you are saying, don't agree, and it sounds like this to me, but I hear you. Naw, that's no fun. And yes, Iktomi threw some ad homs around, but Michael was definitely the first hurler, coming from behind his keyboard to comment and immediately leaping into burkha POS mode. Really, a breach of insult etiquette, since he didn't allow for subtle escalation, but went straight into unnuanced namecalling. Iktomi had to scramble to catch up.
