ok so i just lopped off the leaf. after putting h2o2 on it and watching it throughout the day the spot only got larger and the leaf from the bottom of the spot to the tip got limp. also the crack that the spot started from continued down the leaf and had a watery fluid seeping out. i said "thats it! camille and eyebabe said your coming off and your coming off" so i got a sterile razor blade and didnt hesitate a second to slice it off before it got anywhere near the crown. i stuffed it with cinnamon and put it back where it was. then i just stood there in horror dreadfully looking at the mangled plant and the detached limb while i was holding a razor covered in green slime!!! . but its for the good of the plant. besides it doesnt look TOO bad. il post some pictures later when i get my camera

Good call, doesn't sound like something you could have gotten under control. If it had spread to the crown that was the end of the plant. Who cares what the plant looks like, at least it's alive and now (hopefully) healthy!
