Not only says the whole “these sort of people” thing, but is also too oblivious and prejudiced for it to even register that saying it would be the reason he got banned...

“...these sort of people.”

Yes, it very much fucking is off base to say that, unless by “known better” you mean he should have been sitting at the front door with a shotgun waiting to greet this dickbag properly. It is not in any way required or expected for Derek Fisher or Gloria Govan to make relationship decisions based on fear of what Matt…

wow. I'll ban you later but just leaving this here for now. wow.

This is exactly my point. This was a fistfight between a guy who had a cup of beer thrown on him and a guy standing next to the guy who had thrown the beer. It’s an event, sure, but this fight is now some watershed moment in the timeline of the NBA, for some reason, when a few years later a future murderer would hold…

“Now that I’m an adult, I realize that women stay whether a man’s rich or poor. It’s just a weakness.”

I’m old. This whole dance “proposal” thing did not exist back when our war was still Cold. It's weird.

“I’m completely shocked that the substance of the article was ignored while fights broke out about who is or isn’t fat,” said no one.

I’ll have you know I’m CUDDLY not FAT.

This was an uplifting and amazing article. I desperately needed to have these words put down so that I could read them. It made me feel beautiful/handsome for a moment. Like “Yeah, I’m okay. Or at least not so bad.” I felt a serious warmth spread through me like it was okay to accept myself. Thank you so very much for…

Sports News Website Reports Sports News; Readers Outraged

Take it from an old(ish) lady who was sexually and physically abused as a kid by family; and who was in a horribly abusive relationship for five years: you are *far* more likely to live happily and come to terms with whatever has happened to you (I don't mean by that that you should or will come to forgive or feel…

That's great and all but why do you think anyone (especially the author) needed to know, or even cares really, about your unwillingness to empathize or understand? Not every thought or feeling you have is important enough that you have to express it, especially when it only serves to compound someone else's trauma. I…

Ugh. These stories always end up pissing me off because inevitably someone blames the kid.

The attraction is normal. Acting on it isn't, and especially if you are in a parent/child relationship. It was his responsibility to protect her from it, and he failed her. Further I would argue that he groomed her and preyed upon her.

"genetic sexual attraction is normal" —- please don't say stuff like this. You follow this up a sentence or two later saying that you were an abuse victim. This is NOT normal, do NOT attempt to normalize your experience. This may be COMMON, but DON'T say it's normal. It is not ok.

Great point, except that this is actually a very old story.

I also had no idea what was normal in a father-daughter relationship.

But you have plenty of desire to comment about your lack of desire to sympathize or understand someone whose experiences were not yours. Got it. Thanks for stopping by.
