I'm done with this, too. No reason to keep beating the same drum. However, I will say that there seems to be far less than a "consensus."
Let me throw this hypothetical at you, though. This happened in Week 1 in my varsity game.
A23 runs right. He's held up pretty quickly by multiple B players. Maybe a second before we would've ruled progress stopped, a B player on his knees reaches up from behind, reaches into the back of A23's collar, and pulls A23 straight back to the ground. Would you flag this?

no, because other contact was involved.
About the only way I'll call a horsecollar is one runner, one defensive guy, a hand inside the collar at the back or side, and a pull down backwards or to the side.
