Alright, I did.
I went back and carefully read the first twenty pages of this thread, a second time. Bottom line: I made a severe rush to judgment. While you demonstrated some lack of tact, and the ability to effectively convey your thoughts at times, I allowed some of the garbage you've posted in previous threads, my general opinion of you as of late, and yes, the emotionally charged nature of the subject matter, to essentially blind me to the fact that you actually weren't pushing a narrative of victim-blaming, victim-shaming, or denial.
Upon my second read, it's quite apparent that your assertion of "nothing happened" was solely in regards to the eyes of the law, upon the expiration of SOLs in a given state; NOT your personal belief that the mere passage of time readily indicates that any particular claim is automatically false. You were making a clear plea for victims to report the crime. Additionally, the reasons you gave as to why you believe SOLS are just and necessary as a matter of balancing the right's of victims with the right's of the accused, appeared to be a separate point of discussion altogether. I could expound on this a lot more, but suffice it to say that I was indeed quite wrong on the larger points; to a stunning degree.
You have my apology, for what it's worth.
