But he had already been dragged in and tried, I'm defending him now.
I feel a better brown townogy to follow up would be that whereas before it was kind of a traveling circus. You go in, you look at the flavor of the week, then the traveling circus is gone and maybe you talk about it amongst yourselves about the freakshow.
What you are doing is taking massive nails and driving the tent into the ground, keeping the traveling circus nearby. Then you cement over the nails. Then you hang up a giant sign neon sign saying "HEY GUYS LOOK AT US WE GOT BEARDED LADIES AND MUSCLEMEN AND CONJOINED TWINS HOW WACKY"
This would've blown over but you insist on perpetuating it. This thread could've easily died and probably would have in like, at most, a week or some stuff. You're just creating more drama.
