Apropos something

[perlmonger]

Hardly anyone who reads this will know WTF I'm writing about (I'm not going to elucidate), and those that do are mostly the principals, who are old enough to sort their lives out for themselves, so this isn't likely to be aimed at you, gentle reader.

However.

Self-righteousness is the root of all evil; self-righteousness when you don't have sufficient data to make a judgement,even if it's intended in defence of someone you care about who's hurting, is ugly, stupid and (more to the point) unhelpful.

But hey! this is TEH INTARWEBS so what else can we expect? ;)

I'm sorry about the drama.
I was so furiously angry and desperately hurt, and wanted to put the record straight without naming names. The data seems very clear and is supported by subsequent correspondence, but everything will hopefully become clear very soon.

Understood (as you know!)

My post was aimed at (presumably) well-meaning folks leaping in with both feet. I don't know what's going to come of this all, but I'd like to hope that it'll include the two people involved whom I know and care about still being able to talk to each other, at the very least. From where I'm sitting, I can't feel judgemental interventions by third parties will help to achieve that outcome.

Oh Gods, with all my heart I hope so. But only time will tell. There is so much hurt. I will try.
