Shame on you. Hypocrite.
What in the world are you talking about? I haven't bashed your rape victim family member/acquaintance whatsoever. I feel terribly for all rape victims, and I certainly would never blame them, or suggest they had a "habit" as you did.

And I believe name-calling is against the TOS.

JViello, I'm sorry for the experience you described (which I guess had been posted in this thread, but now isn't? -- so I won't be more specific than that). Without going into details, let's just say that I've been in a similar position, and I know something of how horrible it is, and can be.

But I don't see how that excuses, among other things, your insinuating that the victim was a drug addict ("Perhaps she wasn't a slave to anything but her own habit"). That's what really crossed the line; you could've disagreed with steph3kids in many other ways, but the way in which you chose to do it was distasteful, IMHO.

Part of being a grown man (or, if you prefer, an adult) is acknowledging that it's your responsibility to communicate in a way that's clear and properly represents your intentions. The corollary is that if a bunch of people are telling you that you blew it in that regard, generally speaking, they're right, and you blew it. It was your responsiblity to express yourself in a way that made it clear that you weren't being disrespectful to the rape victim; unfortunately, you didn't succeed, and offended several people (perhaps more). All it takes to make that right is an apology -- not one that's directed at any particular person (least of all me), but just on general principles.

steph3kids is on a distinguished road
This tread is degenerating.
I am sorry if I stired things up here w/my story.
I just thought there was something really wrong w/the police dept. in Waterbury and how they handle (or should I say did not handle) this case.

Maybe it could have been the case in other towns too.

I have no agenda whatsoever. I did not know people on this forum had to have an agenda! It makes me wonder what is some of yours!?!?
I won't name anybody here!!!

I think this forum is meant to be a great ressource for people needing info.
Not for people bikering about who lives in the best town!!

That is the point. Unfortunately, some tend to be a little too rabid and dramatic. I don't care to get into a p**sing contest with these types, but sometimes it's inevitable that you'll have to refute someone's ridiculous assertions.

-Rant over.
