The most amazing thing to me is how fast people forget facts established on this very board. It seems that instead of knowledge compounding it vanishes as soon as people abandon a thread so hey can revert to their biased agenda instead of applying the knowledge going forward.
Isn't it funny how those trying to create controversy out of nothing are too cowardly or too biased to comment on the absurd suggestion that Sheila used the moderator as a tampon. If such were suggested in any context other than one supportive of Jeremy the same people expressing no comment would be all over it like flies on stink.
This also reminds me of the phenomenon known as the empathy trap.
"Excerpt: Apaths are an integral part of the sociopath’s arsenal and contribute to sociopathic abuse. Sociopaths have an uncanny knack of knowing who will assist them in bringing down the person they are targeting. It is not necessarily easy to identify an apath; in other circumstances, an apath can show ample empathy and concern for others—just not in this case. The one attribute an apath must have is a link to the target.
How apaths, who might otherwise be fair-minded people, become involved in such destructive business is not hard to understand, but it can be hard to accept. The main qualifying attribute is poor judgment resulting from lack of insight. They might be jealous of or angry at the target, and thus have something to gain from the evolving situation.
At other times, the apath might not want to see the ‘bad’ in someone, particularly if the sociopath is useful. Or they might choose not to see because they have enough on their plate and do not possess the wherewithal or moral courage to help the targeted person at that time. Usually, be it active or passive involvement, the apath’s conscience appears to fall asleep.
