But the nontrolls would take what he or she said quite
seriously.

Right, as I just suggested myself in another post.

Completely irrelevant.

There is an unconscionably vast number of abuses
in this world. We have to pick our battles. The one
you mention is long past; what good would it do for
me to express outrage about it?

Peter's abusive behavior is right here and now,
where there's at least some potential for me to
get him to think about what he did, and possibly
to resist the temptation to do the same thing in
some other context in which he might well cause
serious harm.

My "clarity" tells me that even if what happened with 
the little girl were something going on right now, I'd
want to know the *facts* before I started condemning
anybody. I've seen too much crap from the keyboards of
disgruntled former TMers to take these kinds of stories
as gospel in all their particulars.

If the account here is completely accurate, of course
it's disgusting. If you don't know me well enough by
this time to know that's how I'd feel about it, if
you're demanding that I take a species of "loyalty oath"
by denouncing it or be considered in sympathy with what
was done, then I seriously question your powers of
discernment.

> But, not today.  Wallow in your dark pit, bitch.

Actually I think it's you who is wallowing in a
dark pit. I think you know perfectly well that
your rant is unreasonable. But you're still smarting
from my having dared to respond negatively to your
open question to the group as to whether you're a
fuckhead; and discharging your angst by demonizing
me (literally!) is a higher priority for your
psyche than making sense.

You really can't get to me by spewing elaborate,
wildly exaggerated insults, no matter how creatively
written. If you think I have "clarity," you ought to
recognize that. And I suspect you do. But you're
behaving like a little kid screaming that his mommy's
a mean old witch because she scolded him for stealing
a cookie.

Grow up, for goodness' sake.
