	SEEM is the keyword.  The authenticity of the emails have
	not been verified, so they may be legit or they could be
	faked.  Another consideration is the context: is it
	sufficiently complete to paint the right picture of the
	truth or has it been cropped (either intentionally or
	innocently)?

	As to the latter, if by chance the undisclosed context is
	one of having put up with accusations for years and being
	fed up, well, people are only people and we all get pissed
	and tired and say things in tones that, if taken out of
	their proper context, could look pretty damning.

	I'm not saying this is what has happened, but that it could
	be done by someone sufficiently motivated or could happen
	by pure accident.

	And I still maintain that it is highly likely that neither
	party is intentionally lying; that they are simply seeing
	things their way and honestly feel they are "right".
	To be honest, I wish they'd just kiss and make up so we
	could get back to more constructive things.
