Perhaps you are correct. Stress does funny things to people. Moore may have been at wits end, feeling like he had no choice. I guess two things may have come from that 1) It was brought to his attention that his actions my actually hurt his cause and 2) TPL found out he wasn't joking around anymore. Also, apparently my memory didn't serve me 100% accurately regarding which meeting he attended and did not atttend. Thanks Emtnester.
