In part that is why I came to my senses and realized that in my attempts
to understand the situation and make sense if it with insufficient
information that I made guesses and had impressions that may not be
accurate, and that calmer headers needed to prevail.

for this very reason.  As I've said elsewhere, at this point time is
what will show the truth or falsehood of the claims made.
