The other person who was accused wrote an LJ post calling out the bad faith arguer as a liar and got flamed to high hell for it. I'm casting doubt on the coincidence of a bare two weeks after that blow-up someone, who has no friends, no interests, and no posts, responding to a prompt where I requested that exact pairing and writing a fic where the pairing breaks up. It seemed to me like someone was posting with the intention of provoking an emotional reaction.
