BTW, I read your original post, and just wanted to say "word."

I'd have said it in the comments there, but have long since learned NOT to go into this particular subject outside of a handful of places--it just gets me into trouble. My thoughts when first watching S6 were, "Wow. That's some serious mutually assured destruction we've got there. Hot, but good for no one in the long run." It always baffles me when it's read as a one-sided use/abuse situation, on either side of the fence.
