So, Ann goes up to the stage, and then what, everyone breaks into a dance? It seems to me there are some details missing. I also understand Raunchy that you give a wide berth to anyone whom you perceive to be an ally, and quite an constricted berth to those who don't fall into that category. All part of that unflinching honesty you talk so much about. But I would have liked a few details of how we went from dread to celebration. > > > My point here has nothing to do with exonerating Robin or myself or to lay blame on others. Everyone was on the dance floor. We were all jitter bugging like crazy. We didn't want the music to stop, we wore our shoes out. My point is that the predators were, at other times, the prey. > > > <snip> >
