    Disagreeing = trolling. Got it, thanks.

    Why?

    Hey man, think the worst of her. Go nuts.

    Do you ever just talk to people, without this incredible sharp edge of hostility?

    Is it at all possible you're misinterpreting her comments?

    Yes, victims of theft are responsible because they have possessions. WTF is this? If you're going to make that analogy, its leaving the house unlocked and having your stuff stolen….and then, no, you're not responsible for the crime but you need to be smarter.

    "No one is calling her a rape apologist or insisting that she's a horrible person."

    This is her experience, and her honest reaction, and its all they can to do just sit here and shit all over her because it doesn't line up with their preconceptions. Awesome showdown of real life vs. partisan, ideological nonsense. What can you do but chuckle.

    Ugly stuff. When I'm assigning deranged, subhuman traits to someone based on a few quotes, I'm personally usually wary that they didn't quite mean what it sounded like. To each their own.

    Its always a problem when someone like you thinks so little of others that you actually believe they think the victim is to blame. Its not that you're misunderstanding the point, its not that maybe I didn't type it right and could clarify….its that someone who was raped is to blame for the crime.

    There are no opinions anymore - there is Right and Wrong, aka Black and White. I am in possession of Objective Truth and I will tell you how your experiences should have shaped your perspective.

    This is such horseshit…..I didn't frame you as anything, I asked if you get as angry about one thing as the other. I ask because there are rampant double-standards about this stuff from people like yourself. You want to act like nothing can be read into your posts when its quite clear where you're coming from.

    Its about what I think you are, based on what you wrote! If you had not immediately framed me as opposition, I wouldn't have immediately identified you as a partisan. You're not the only one who can make judgments about people based on their opinions. And yeah, I'd be shocked if you're really as even-handed as you

    But now do you get as angry when a young christian receives hateful abuse? This stuff goes on in mirror images on the other sides' forums - in there its the attacks on christians or southerners which aren't tolerated, while jokes about gay or feminist will go unchallenged.

    WOW! Forget take it easy…..is "goodbye" possible?

    I'm sorry you feel this way. The world doesn't have to be such a negative place, on anyone's part. Take it easy.

    No thanks. What I will say is that when you defend your position by demonizing, calling names, insulting, etc…..all you are doing is driving wedges and feeling good about yourself. You are not convincing him, and in fact giving him all the reason in the world to oppose you and everything you believe in…….we're

    Which is why we pick sides and demonize the other to begin with. its all about a sense of superiority over the clowns/cavemen/misogynists/racists/insert cathartic insult here. You don't think we really get all that fired up about our various opinions on issues that don't affect us in the slightest out of pure

    Sorry. What I saw didn't line up with what's being described, which is the problem….but all fair enough, I accept your judgment.

    OK, sorry I didn't see the vile stuff and didn't mean to deflect anything from that.
