(57,314 posts)There are many, many issues discussed on this site. Some I know very little about. But if you're going to talk about something that impacts my life, I will have an opinion. Yes, I have formed an opinion of you as a result of reading thousands of posts over the past year and a half. I did not call you a rape apologist. I spoke about what I found troubling about two of your threads. If you had not insisted there was no victim blaming on this site, the issue would not have come up. You challenge people to provide evidence and then are angry when I do. I initially didn't provide links to anything but spoke in the most general terms because I didn't think it productive to point fingers at individuals, but when you and some others insisted on links and took the absence of them as evidence of the fact no such victim blaming goes on, I obliged. You will note that I also provided other links elsewhere in the thread and spoke about the issue in more general terms and how it often manifests itself.
You are right that I no longer give credence to what you say on issues of rape and gender. I've seen too much already, and when you do post something reasonable (like your current thread in GD), it appears to be in response to discussions like this. Then before long you are back to complaining about false rape allegations and misandrist rape PSAs. I've seen it many times, and it grows old. When you PMed me about how sorry you were for saying bad things about HOF members and then less than a week later posted that rant on the rape PSA and continued to talk smack about certain feminists, that underscored the issue for me.
