Strange Contortions with Dynamic Rotation

I took a block of a bracket, a simple PLine shaped like the { from the keyboard.  It already had a stretch command applied to both ends.  I added a rotate action to it, but when tested to stretches the legs very strangely. I have attached a copy of the block

The issue is caused by the fact that you made the linear parameter chained.  Because of that, when the endpoints associated with the stretch actions are rotated, the linework that is rotated is then stretched additionally by the same amount.

Thank you so much!  Although I have used AutoCAD since DOS based versions, I haven't created blocks since long before dynamic blocks were around so I am a newby to this.
