I might think that the right thing for Robin to do would be to apologize to Curtis, and say, "Sorry Curtis. I should not have mispresented you. I'm not going to do that anymore". But that's not how it played out. You mentioned something about common sense a few posts back. Common sense to me would be that you don't write things, and then ascribe them to another person. To me that seems common sense. But evidently you see it differently, and so does Robin.
