Maybe this would be a reasonable request if we ignored all the context
of what has transpired in the past month or so (which, we must not
forget, was just the straw that broke the camel's back after *years*
of problematic behavior), but given the context I think this is
nothing more than gaslighting. There is no honest need for me, or
anyone else, to rehash the issues as if they haven't already been
cited numerous times by others. Everything is already out on the
table.
