Lots of good points there. It took me back to the whole history of this block and I think it helps to explain a lot of the anger that people have felt towards Emmy. When I read her response of"What part of DO NOT POST TO ME did you not
understand?"coming after that deeply heartfelt apology message by Larry (that wasn't even directly to her if I remember correctly), I couldn't believe what I had read. It had such an incredibly chilling effect on me. It took my breath away. I felt indescribably bad for Larry at that point.
