What I see happening here and in the video is escalation. What's funny is that we (by that I mean the forum) started it.
When Bree was stolen back from the Order, we started looking up ways to deprogram people. We had some good ideas and we had some bad ideas, just like always. Unfortunately, Jonas chose to try one of our good ideas--treat her as you always have and let her heal on her own time. Remember that advice, forumites?
We had forgotten and he remembered that before she was kidnapped they were in the process of falling in love. He talked to her about inconsequential things, took her for long walks, gave her piggy back rides. It was what he'd been doing before. Bree responded. If you take a look at the video again, you'll see it was Bree who kissed Jonas first.
Up to then it was all small things. Poor decisions on everyone's part. Jonas shouldn't have pushed Daniel away; Sarah shouldn't have made a play for Daniel just then; Daniel shouldn't have allowed Jonas to take over nor should he have allowed Sarah to distract him. See? All small things. All tiny misjudgments.
But each misjudgments lead to a slightly escalated retaliation that led to a larger retaliation with us forumites banging away at the trio, flinging mud at their defenders, making accusations.
And now I would like to take the line away from my usual sig and propose this to everyone. Hush. Let it go. Make peace. We're all friends here on the forum. We've been reacting harshly and we've been escalating the problems. Look around you. I love Lurker and Esteed and eucebo and all the rest of you. I enjoy talking to you and I don't want to fight any more. Can't we go back to being friends? Jonas? Taylor? Daniel? Sarah? Lurker? LesterG? Juli? eucebo? Esteed? and all the rest of you?
