I dont agree with him on everything but that doesnt mean that everything he writes should be interpreted as nasty.
What happened really?
Quote: from bmxboy at 12:44 am on June 20, 2011 You have nothing to be sorry about. Nothing. It is not your fault. This is a case where, I believe, moderators made the wrong call and are now refusing to admit it. They would make good politicians. I 100% agree.

Sadly this happens quite a bit on LW where moderators will make a mistake but refuse to admit that they did. Since they are the moderators they are never wrong in their mind...they forget that they are human and they dont have a choice in whether they make a mistake or not, they do it anyways. It annoys me that they refuse to grow and admit their mistakes but that is their choice. Not anyone else. It just goes to show people that they are not mature enough to help run a website and help other people out.
Hey, I know it's awfully late to be posting this but I literally only just saw this topic and thought I should say something, because I am the author of the topic in question. I did not elaborate on what happened in the post because I did not want to go off in a tangent about the whole ordeal. Perhaps I should gone into more detail about the situation to avoid misunderstanding, and I'm very sorry about that. I don't want to go into explicit detail, but there were actually two guys involved when I was assaulted. One of them was a friend of mine, and the other was a friend of his who I didn't know very well but wasn't very fond of. I'm going to make it very clear that I only considered the one guy to be a friend - I'd never, ever been involved with him as a boyfriend in any way, and as a matter of fact he was seeing another girl at the time. For the duration of the whole week we had been in conflict over something that happened with another one of his friends at school, and on Saturday he called me and asked me to come over so we could sort it out face to face. He seemed amicable enough, so I did. I wasn't aware that his parents were away and he was home alone. When I got there he was very friendly and told me to come down to the rec room in the basement to talk... when I got down there his friend was there waiting (he did not tell me he was there), and that's when the assault took place. The guy who made the really hurtful comment to me was a mutual friend, he'd been friends with the guy a lot longer than he'd been with me, but he told me he really didn't want to take sides and wanted to remain friends with both of us... but he said he would be there for me if I needed it... he seemed sincere and I thought I could trust him, then when I tried to talk about it, his demeanor suddenly changed and I saw a side of him that I'd never seen before, he said a lot of really nasty things (including the thing I mentioned in the OP) to me in person and over Facebook. He also forwarded my Facebook messages to the people who assaulted. That really, really wounded me deeply. For the life of me I don't know why he so suddenly turned cold on me and betrayed me this way, I never ever said anything to make him say those things to me. Maybe it was other people who took my attackers' sides that told him lies or something, I don't know. But I swear I never said anything to make him say what he said to me. I'm sorry I didn't include those details in the post which I probably should have. I honestly don't know why this happened, I feel awful, I never ever would have wanted him banned. I'm extremely, extremely sorry to everyone about this.

You have nothing to be sorry about. Nothing. It is not your fault.
I gotta voice my own opinion, though. As a writer, I agree that Abs' grammar did in fact imply blame to the victim and I think that's unacceptable for this type of atmosphere.
But hey, that's just my two cents. Take it with a grain of salt.

But anything else would be thinking outside your parameters, which makes it more lolsy. This is where you quote me saying I didnt say that and I say it again for a third time, and we continue the never ending dance.

Can anyone give me the reader's digest of the past 17 pages? In short, the mods haven't come up with a reasonable and sensible rational for why they banned a member, so they're skirting the issue (for 17 pages) as to why they feel their ban was justified. Amirite?

My post was 'insensitive' except that it wasn't insensitive in of itself, but only in the context that I 'hate' women, especially ones that are rape victims.
So basically, thought crimes.
If you like to ignore whats in front of you, then yes, youre right.

It's never too late.
