I suppose what I meant to say was rapprochement towards the poster the remarks had been directed to, in regards to those particular remarks. I'm still not sure why that post wasn't flagged by Dr. Bob, but he moves in mysterious ways, I suppose.
However, I think that all of us have the same purpose in this matter, just different interpretations. And so on my part at least, I have respect for all of those who try to do what they believe is right.
For what it's worth, I believe the blocked poster stated that the intention of her posts was to help Fires, and that her opinion of the Fires situation was similar to yours. While I can't approve of the methods of posting while blocked and posting under numerous names, which has the possibly unintended result of causing confusion and distress on the board as people try to figure out what's going on. And while I understand that you in particular were caused some distress quite inadvertently by myself over the matter. Yet still, I think the poster's intent was to help a poster (Fires) she thought was in need of help. And Fires himself was certainly in no need of protection from "Jack". :)
Sometimes it's hard to read intent from the current page of threads, but you can make inferences from the history of the poster. This poster has a long history of speaking out for posters who have found disfavor on the board.
