I agree. Most definately not a game. I really didn't expect this topic to get the legs it did, and at first post I was really trying to just see what opinions would be on the scenario in general. I had my views, but wanted to see if there was more to it. When it then became an analogy rether than just a scenario, I knew it was probably going to evolve into relating the actual events. I wish one of the parties would have stepped up and had the strength to comment, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen - and there may be good reasons for that. The Tattlers are probably just hoping it will die-out and that will be that. It's just a sad situation.
