I understand,

That's one reason for me to be consistent in my point and refusing to get drawn in on "the debate".

Thing is peace, if he was in a hole in the ground in Tibet being tortured by the Chinese, or his family had been wiped out by the secret police in chile and he refused to rest till the truth was told, or he had been arrested by the british police and had a confession beaten out of him for a bombing he didn't do, then fair enough.

It would be an act of great courage to keep fighting for 6 years, while another ordinary mortal soul might have given up and accepted the harsh reality of their life.

The abuse that Shambles gets though is by no means something that he "must" endure. The reasons for enduring it simply aren't important enough (except in his mind) to warrant that kind of "courage".

This confrontation is not good for him. It wouldn't be good for anyone. Why does he keep coming back to it.

Of course that applies to his "abusers" too, but the relationship is symbiotic and ultimately whether it carries on or not is something that he has control over.

In short, he could stop engaging in this ridiculous performance now if he wanted, and ignore cruel posts made about him just as the rest of us ignore trolls and flamers etc.

Truth is though that it's not just the "abusers" that he needs. You and me are talking about him now. He is the centre of attention. This is a thread about shambles.

Yes I'm contributing too, but as I said above "for a limited time"
