I think everybody can read between the lines here, not that it is too difficult.
My opinion would be to let this chat drift back to the OPs topic at hand, and the recent posts disappear into the thread.
The less said at the moment the better.
I won’t delete any of the posts, but if the original posters wanted to delete their own, i don’t think that would be a bad thing.
Also, I would suggest people reconsider replying to any of the posts that are off topic to the OPs intent.
Just my 2 cents
