I love John’s commentary on the case, but his commentary on the case watchers is far less appealing. His fears are unwarranted. The womynly nature of a handful of the steadfast posters here, as I noted before, will outweigh (not literally, but in the long-term) the sapphic support for Team Price, John.

At any rate, powerful women of whatever sexuality will determine the ultimate outcome of this case — Judge Lynn, Cathy L., Diane Durham, and Dr. G., oh my!!

We’ve been lucky that ever since the first post went up in December 2008, a dedicated group, at first small and now growing larger, has congregated here to try and make some sense of a senseless crime.

The discussion here has long been focused, purposeful and remarkably tame given the difficult subject matter and the very raw nature of the allegations. Pretty rare for any site let alone one that asks readers to dive head first into the darkest recesses of human behavior.

Tempers may occasionally flare and nerves may fray, but the four of us are thankful for the efforts of some very smart and motivated people.

Short of sky writing and walking up and down K Street with a sandwich board, we’ve made every effort to grow the readership here, especially in communities where we obviously need help and guidance: legal, forensics, medical and S&M.

We welcome any new reader, new theory and anything short of outright hate speech and personal attacks. We happily give free rein to nearly everything else.

Everyone has played pretty nicely in the sandbox so far and we fully expect it to continue that way – even when things really start to heat the fuck up, which it appears we are on the cusp of.

The filings and motions are going to start flying and as May 10 draws closer we’ll need everyone, and even some newbies, to keep their thinking caps on, their teeth sharp and their eyes on the prize.

That was too many words and a roundabout way of saying thanks and never forget we’re on the same team.

I’ve learned a lot here. Sorry if you haven’t.

With a break in my day, I am surprised to see that you, John, ignored that entirely and dredged up a string from early February and accuse me of “broadcasting” that you “are the ultimate in lying and deceipt”.

I have no idea where that came from or what it’s about. CD seems spot on in wanting to stir the pot. I thought we were getting somewhere, so it was a surprise. Hope the lentils are good.
