I tried to keep a slight distance from the facts of this most recent event simply because I don't know all of them.My larger point is directed at the world and I suppose this part:"And if you don't [use common sense], someone (be it Seth, Ethan, Kent or somebody we don't know yet) will probably let you know."is the part that applies in your case.I'll read more on this tonight and if I can parcel together the time line, I'll certainly supplement my take with a fact specific one.

Moreover, this is within the subculture that should be reading those reports.It's so much beyond "conversation" it isn't funny :-(.Note, to be clear, it's not that they did anything morally wrong. But it shows starkly just how little I get heard.
