Formatting went awry for some reason, so I'm posting this again.


When Jonathan first became conspicuous, I too thought it was only in an
appropriate response towards comments made on ChrisW, and I also thought that
given the amount of response that ensued, he was able to finally discuss what
had clearly been causing an enormous amount of frustration and anger. Without
wishing to bring up the veracity of the perspectives of both sides, being true
and causing a considerable stir are hardly mutually exclusive, and I don't see
why it should surprise you as you imply.
On the other hand, I have seen threads and arguments that had NOTHING to do with
Chris, whether stated or implied, that you (don't you love this schizophrenic
talk?) tried to somehow make about him. I view this last a little differently
than the first. An example:

Yes, you speak of Mindwipe's unfairness, but this reminds me quite clearly of
the time you stepped on my toes, despite the neon signs Disney placed in that
scene, and then had the gall to claim you hadn't seen them. I am bringing this
up in the interest of truth in order to show to all the hypocritical rat you
are.

Truth perhaps, but what's the relevance?
