Years later, as Thomas is about to be confirmed to the SCOTUS, Anita Hill sees him and probably thinks, "That should've been me next to him, instead of that ugly white bi***!" Thus the stage is set for drama. Most people I knew believed this is what happened, and to me it makes sense.

You're probably right that there was more to the story, and definitely right that they were both culpable in some fashion. But that's just the point. He was head of the Office of Economic Opportunity, and it's not a stretch to say that he should never have allowed a personal relationship at the office to take place under any circumstances. It just made him a hypocrite. People may have had office affairs then, but it was seriously frowned upon and grounds for dismissal. What was he thinking?

The other thing to remember is that she did not contact the Committee and demand to tell her story; they called her and demanded her story due to her having told someone about it at the time. She did not set out to bring him down; the president's enemies did.

What was he thinking?

I can personally say that when you work hard long hours at an office with someone and you have enough in common, it is easy to develop feelings for each other. You feel like two warriors against the world with only each other to depend on.

She did not set out to bring him down; the president's enemies did.

Yep.

Sorry, Judge Thomas was NOT culpable in Anita Hill's lies.

You seem unwilling to see the truth so you continue to slander Clarence Thomas.

Pathetic.
