SusieBlue wrote: » Its not funny, its just annoying and derails the thread. I bothered to take the time to reply to a someones post, and instead of replying to the point I made, he took one word out of context to suit his own position and to make a joke. That's a really immature way to conduct yourself during a debate on a serious issue, and if you can't see anything wrong with that, I can't help you. Its poor forum etiquette.

I don’t think you know what you’re on about tbh. Women = bad Men = good, seems to be the sum total of most of your comments. And while that may be true sometimes, it’s a philosophy that tends to punctuate most of your arguments on every thread across the site no matter what.

nullzero wrote: » Could you define poor forum etiquette please? The reaso being that you have thanked and replied in agreement with a post that openly insulted people and now you're making accusations. Is etiquette something that should be adhered to by some people and ignored by others (you for example)?

If you have a problem with my ‘etiquette’ please just report the posts, I don’t answer to you and don’t have to explain myself to you, you aren’t some higher authority on the matter.

PlaneSpeeking wrote: » Because they are coming at this from as incorrect a perspective as anyone saying "all women ask for it". They're holding signs up talking about "victim blaming" - the lad was found not guilty, there was no victim in this case. If you make an accusation against someone then absolutely you should be questioned in court. Worryingly there are some people, groups etc (probably some posters on here) who think we should believe every single woman when she says she has been raped. It's a very sad fact that the way the world is moving on (e.g. with #MeToo and people losing their livelihoods due to allegations made on social media) that there are women who will have a consensual experience and for whatever reason say they were raped. I've seen it happen. It's not common but neither is unheard of. A lecturer in a previous job I had who looks after sexual health matters once said in her opinion the figures for rapes in England were "over reported" (her words) - and that it was doing great harm to those genuine victims. It has been touched on here about how hard it is to report rape. Like I said yesterday I know someone who worked with the CPS in the UK and most police stations there now will have a Sexual Assault centre, trained staff etc, they can help. But if it's years after there is really no point going. That sounds harsh but without evidence what can people do ? I have a real problem with people my age claiming abuse in childhood and getting a conviction on nothing - it scares me that I could actually claim to have been abused by a nun, or a teacher and ruin their life as I would be believed. Oh and anonymity for BOTH accuser and accused until sentencing should be mandatory IMO.
