Boro, I was of course probing you a bit. However, it
was just innocent questioning, and saying it wasn't an "attack"– as Mac described it– isn't "downplaying" anything.

All I said was that the people who fell in with
Nogrod's weird case on
Roa– I think
Eomer was one– are worth looking at. As I intend to, as soon as I have time, which I haven't yet. It's a valid, indeed an obvious, line of inquiry; whether it will lead anywhere is another matter.

It might not have been "everyone" but it was a rather large number of people. You also tried to downplay it by saying that it's possible a wolf would ignore it completely (would you call that obvious?) Then when people saw the point I was trying to make, and how my original response to Inzil got misrepresented people started jumping off one wagon and onto another...the "I don't like how everyone was jumping onto Boro wagon."
You can't tell me there isn't some screwy wolf involvement going on in that pile of people?

I'm not telling you that... however, the circumstance under which I made my "molehill" remark was that the first three people to question you (
Me, Zil, Roa) were the ones coming under attack for it...
Nogrod even had a theory of
Roa and I being wolves together, based on the fact that a.) we both criticised you and b.) I defended her against his silly case. I maintain that was a serious overreaction. I'd made exactly two posts questioning you and both of them were perfectly reasonable. Look,
Boro, it really wasn't clear what you meant.
Now, later there
were people who just parrotted us, or even jumped straight to suspecting you–
Bes and
Morsul spring to mind. Even then, some of those you're listing just said, "meh, pointless topic". (Note: this is from memory, so don't shoot me if I've mixed up who did what.)
Okay... so... I'm not liking these points you're making against me here,
Boro. They seem kind of twisty.
