Allyson, to me, your posts parsed as "You were inappropriate in what you've said, so despite the fact that you've apologized, I'm going to be inappropriate in return, while I correct you on the error of your ways."
Sean got shirty, and apologized. His first apology sucked. His subsequent one(s?) did not. ita was gracious in her responses. Whatever--they'll take it from there. By the way, I completely agree with your "we are solely responsible for what we post" riff. I'm not here to disagree with it.
But what you said about Sean's career, etc.? It sucked, too. And it didn't suck because it detracted from your point.
I'm sorry you feel that way Cindy.
I didn't think Sean was shirty.
I thought he was violently abusive. But you're right in that the bottom line at this point is that he and ita will deal with it.

Thanks for your input on everything, Allyson. It was really helpful.
'Cause really.... Accusations of violence can only help this situation.
What will help the situation, Sean?
I think less rudeness, not more, will help.
I realised, trying to type a response, that I'm not sure what the situation is, and what effect anyone can have on it. I feel very lost, and perhaps this isn't even the same situation that was in Natter, since I'm not in this side of it.
So I'll just step aside before I make anything...well, make anything anything, really.
Oh. My. God.

Sean, you're acting incredibly immature, and it's making it increasingly difficult to take your side. ita was not attacking you. You attacked her. You've apologized, now get over it.
ita, when you poke people, it hurts. You're a very good debater, and arguing with you is the easiest way I know to make myself feel worthless and stupid, even knowing full well that that's not your intention. But you could probably stand to be a little more aware of people's boundaries.
Allyson, unless you have something truly constructive to say, back the hell off. Peppering your posts with cheap shots at Sean only makes you look petty and mean, and helps nothing.

Can you help me out and tell me when they've been breached?
Jess, I'm not sure that post helped anything.
Look, can we all agree to just back away for a little while?
