Seems to me the "interpersonal problems" occurred anyway, archives or no
archives.  After all, Alexis does not burden himself with inconvenient
facts; he simply ignores them as he has always ignored this list and its
archives in favor of second-hand interpretations.

Some of those who know the truth seem to have simply and quietly stopped
attending meetings at the Gillilands' -- or stopped attending WSFA
altogether.  Others, perhaps, just don't care.
