When did I claim someone had mental problems, claim I had proof for it (as well as proof for some other matters), and then consistently refused to show that evidence and answer questions, despite repeated requests to do so?

I am not *equating* incest/rape/mugging with Erik's attack on me. I am talking about the *principle* of telling someone that the best response to injustice is to shut up about it rather than fight it, and pointing out that it is in fact NOT the best response. Hence my reference to incest: no sane person would agree that the best way to deal with that is by shutting up about it. Does anyone in the world beside Jeroen matter? To me, yes. But I have some serious doubts about whether or not Jeroen matters to anyone on this list.
