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.
That's the thing though, Thena. He WASN'T just talking about rape in the eyes of the law. He went on to say that a person does not even have the right to look themselves in the mirror and say, "I was raped," even JUST to themselves privately, if the assault was never legally acknowledged as "rape" in a courtroom. It seems to me that he wants to punish actual victims for some perceived failure on their part to demonstrate their allegation is truthful (legally), by stripping that word of any meaning for them personally. As though our justice system is as infallible as he thinks his God is. If I misunderstood him, then he did a really, really poor job of explaining himself, because I TRIED.
