As many of you are aware, I serve as a Moderator over on THR.
Please heed Larry's words.
There's more to this than meets the eye.
In the end, either the parties in question will resolve it between them, or a resolution will be obtained in court.
I want you all to keep in mind how easy it is to misunderstand someone on the Internet. Couple that with a tendency of humans to spout off before thinking things through. And, just to spice things up a little, season all of this with the all-too-human tendency to deny a mistake.
At some point the "who's right and who's wrong" question gets pretty muddy, because -- even when both parties believe they're doing the right thing -- there's not only the issue of the merits, but now also the issue of what's been said.
Some of you are married. Being right ain't much help if you manage to insult your spouse in the proving of it.
If I had to guess, and my crystal ball wasn't so freakin' cloudy, I'd imagine that once the interested parties are behind closed doors with an uninvolved person asking the questions, there will be a certain amount of "uh, well, I guess that was a little extreme," from both sides.
I know more than most of you.
I don't know enough to pass judgement.
I'm still hoping both sides will wake up and go, "what the hell was I thinking!?"
Till then, you won't see me throwing rocks either way.
Keep yer powder dry, fellas.
