As far I can see, Pyrnad has made every reasonable effort to be fair and do the right thing throughout this ordeal. She is still the one who has to keep watching her back, and the backs of her 70 animals...

True enough.
"We reap what we sow" may or may not be applicable in this case. I think there is always some wisdom in it as it is always applicable to some degree, but not all misery is brought upon by ourselves. It is always dangerous to judge others, though we all do it, and what people say on the internet is a particularly poor basis on which to judge people. Much of the personal attacks and retaliations, aggressive or passive aggressive, perceived or real, have been born out of the best intentions of defending either one, or the other, or both, because we have empathized or sympathized with either or both in some way or another. It is easy for those motives, however well intended, to get the better of us, even though we are all really good people. I know I am.
We should all try to maintain a sense of humour, but humour can also be dangerous when it is someone elses train wreck. I think this particular thread is a good place to discuss our human nature and weakness in general, and perhaps inject a little self deprecating humour into the whole affair. I prefer self deprecating humour, because it is all about my favourite subject.
It's also fun to give a poke now and then, if you think they can handle it, and you are ready to duck. There is not much fun in kicking someone when they are really down however. Let's hope this ends well for all parties concerned, if only so that we can make fun of them later and still maintain a clear conscience.
As for me, I am doing OK, and there is plenty to make fun of.
Just remember. It's all about me.
