To Gabbi : In the interests of being direct, I believe that until the facts are in (and they apparently never will be in in this case), for most of us not taking sides is the honorable thing to do. I won't take your "side "just because you tell me to
(especially since the other "side" has been blocked). (And I keep wondering what consequences
the unnamed person who forwarded your email to Rod has had to face.) It does seem to me that since so much of this has been conducted off-board, behind the scenes, it may be somewhat unreasonable to insist that we choose "sides" (your side), and to imply that somehow there is only one right side to choose. It feels to me that you are saying anyone who supports both you and Rod is ... what? Well, whatever it is, it don't sound good. I maintain my support for both of you , I am sorry that you both appear to be in pain, and I refuse to believe that my choice to support you both is somehow ....not right?
Oh, yeah. That was direct. (Sarcasm, but self-directed. Do we get penalized for self-directed sarcasm?)
