(135,425 posts)She is very plainly communicating that the prevailing sentiment on JA is that there is more to this story than meets the eye.
In NO PART of her post does she say "Gee, I think that 'old whore' who had come around that asshole's house previously was asking for it!" Never. Not once. It is quite clear that she is communicating the opinion of the majority of people on the island who have weighed in on this matter, and not her own opinion.
If you cannot understand that, you have serious reading comprehension issues. I will not delete a damn thing--you're wrong on this and you're wrongfully piling on malaise for something she did not do or say.
If you'd read what she had said in the first place, and not followed along with the rest of the torch-and-pitchfork crowd, you would have had no need to accuse her of having an unsavory POV.
This was an over-enthusiastic pile-on. One person who could not read got poutraged, and everyone else with an axe to grind followed along.
Not DU's finest hour.
