Morality without God

What is a rape victim guilty of?

In a capital murder conviction a person has been found guilty of a murder by a jury and has been sentenced to death for their actions.  My stance on the death penalty has been changing over the last few years due to the advancements in science in general and forensics specifically.  Too many people have been exonerated who would have died had these changes in knowledge not come to light.

Again, I ask, what is a rape victim guilty of?

Is that addressed to me?

As for me issuing a threat...no, I just let it be known that this discussion turned to rape and it's being watched.

You're full of shit.  You identified a behavior and a consequence for engaging in that behavior, rhetorically asking not to go there.  I'll go there if I damn well please and there ain't fuckall that you can do about it as neither discussing rape nor engaging in rape apologetics are against the rules.  And now you tell me that the thread is being watched.  I presume that you mean that you will be watching this discussion which prompts several questions that I would like answered.  A) What are you watching for?  and B) What do you intend to do once you see it?  As far as I can see, there is nothing inherent in a discussion of rape or engaging in rape apologetics which would authorize you to do anything that any other member is not capable of doing.  Are we going to now be spammed with warnings from you in every discussion that you are watching that discussion as well?  Watch all you like, but as far as I can see you've threatened me not once but twice with the oh so subtle implication that you would be monitoring my behavior pending taking action against me using your privileges as a staff member for discussing rape in a way that you don't find agreeable.  If, on the other hand, you're simply saying that you are going to watch the discussion just like any other interested member might watch the discussion, then I have to ask what exactly is noteworthy about that?

When you tell me that I shouldn't participate in a thread because you don't like what I said or how I said it, you are close to breaking the rule regarding attempting to limit participation.

So, take a breath and calm down a little.

When I do such a thing, then a warning might be appropriate.  Since I have done no such thing, your suggestion that I have is pure slander.

I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that you have few scruples regarding lying and will likely tell any lie under the sun in order to more efficiently extricate yourself from any bind.

I didn't piss in your Cheerios this morning.  Take your bitchiness out on whoever did.

And, just so you know, the mention of rape apologetics wasn't meant for you but you can take offense all you want.  

And as for calling me a liar...thank for showing your true colors.  

I'd say it's been a pleasure, but that would be a lie.
