I didn't notice this e-mail before; in response, I'll just note that
perhaps if posters to this list focused on honest and intelligent
dialogue, rather than advancing foaming-at-the-mouth "women who dress
in scanty clothes are just asking to be raped" arguments, (not naming
names), they'd have a better chance of not looking like rabid fools.
With that and your clear disregard for practical reality beyond to push your
own polarizing agendas and POV, I will bow out, but I would like an apology
from you which I don't expect shall be forthcoming.
You first.
[more pointless insults and vague threats snipped]
Equating my point that, "If people leave virtual
bread crumbs all over the
internet that show who they are and where they live, people will be expected
to put 2 and 2 together, and the subject should not be surprised or upset
when this happens," to "Obviously, you're saying the same thing as women
deserved to be raped for dressing in sexy apparel," is filthy and
disgusting.
No, it's a quite valid analogy. Stop blaming the victim.
[another pointless diatribe snipped]
If you posted with the same handle hypothetically as "Jayjg" and said,
"Richmond ROCKS! So does Temple Such and Such, and I like eating Salmon!" on
some message board or blog comment, and someone Googles your name, and
starts seeing Easter Eggs all over, it's not Wikipedia's job to enforce a
cover up of the fact that 'someone' named Jayjg comes possibly from a given
town, goes to a given Temple, and enjoys eating salmon.
Except, of course, none of that was done. You keep inventing some
alternate reality, and then railing at others based on it. Meanwhile,
back in the real-world, none of that, nor anything even remotely
approximating it, was done.
If people are that worried about it, use a different
username on-Wiki that
has nothing to do with you, don't say squat about who you are, what you do
for a living, where you live, and be mindful if you edit articles related to
you and yours to play fairly and by the rules, to not piss off people and
get them searching for you. That's what I said.
And what makes you think that wasn't done? Oh, wait, I forgot, you're
inventing an alternate reality again, and then railing at others based
on it.
Basically, "Don't be an
idiot, and then blame others for your own actions and their consequences."
Basically, "if you insist on wearing provocative clothing, you only
have yourself to blame when you get raped."
You don't need to respond to this; your smoke and
mirrors games don't
matter.
What, so you can get the last rant in? Hardly. Your heartless victim
blaming mentality, built on equal parts prejudice and ignorance,
deserved a response.
