Earlier today I posted a plea for moderation in this ridiculous
(and outrageous) matter. That was essentially asking us to all
shut up. So here, on the heels of asking everyone to shut up,
yet another article. I want to reach the people who are still
reading about this, the admins and readers. What I am going to
describe is completely speculation on my part, I have nothing
to confirm what I'm describing.

The earlier post asked that we not inadvertantly injure Brad and
or his situation by raving or threatening retaliation. I will
propose a more sinister but entirely possible scenario which may
even be true.

Fact: JEDR and Brad have been conspicuously silent lately.
Fact: Someone posted a few days ago suggesting that if a
situation got too far out of hand that legal remedies
could be pursued.

Speculation: Maybe legal remedies are being pursued and that's
why neither party has anything to say. Further, if that
is the case we might be doing a severe disservice to what
ever side we favor by caterwauling about one or the other.
Wouldn't you feel like an utter fool if the article you
posted turned out to be the legal evidence that caused
the remedy to not go in the direction you supported?

I do not want to sound like you're being read your rights but if the
speculation happens to be accurate then we might be hoist by our own
petard making threatening or damaging remarks. I'm not proposing that
we shut down the discussion, but I am asking that we be very careful
to not provide any fuel for the fire that exists or for another that
we don't even know about. I don't think the speculation is too far
fetched or I wouldn't have asked for your time to read it.
