But the nontrolls would take what he or she said quite seriously. <snip> > No way did Willy ever have a chance of taking Doc Pete's comments as > "important," right? Willy's immune to anyone's words, right? Right, as I just suggested myself in another post. No > way was Willy ever at risk of being "abused by a professional." Completely irrelevant. > And fuck, Judy, there was the post ( http://tinyurl.com/29kado ) about > the MSAE all-men's tribunal that literally psychically raped a child > and rejected her in an act of such brutality that even in this Kali > Yuga world it still staggers me, and you didn't say shit about it. 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. > Take up the cause of that little girl, Judy.

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.
