It pains me that I've been implicated in this controversy. I became IRL friends with Silver and the now Mr. Bloom when they were still (seemingly) happily married. Over the course of a year or two, I rode with them/saw them at a number of rides. Mr. B and I also share a professional connection.

Their divorce saddened me, but I tried to stay out of it on TE and IRL and that's where I'd prefer to stay. I'm very glad Silver is back; I'm sad that she ever went away. I hope she doesn't doubt my sincerity in that. By the same token, I have remained friends with Mr. Bloom, and while I am not going to apologize for that, I also don't want it to be perceived as some form of side-taking in terms of Silver.

Otherwise, think of me as Switzerland.
