Suggesting that I "couldn't resist sticking the knife in another member" is yet another example of your penchant for mischaracterizing the words of others, and applying your own spin to anything you disagree with.
I have no idea what LA's past experiences have been. But when someone responds that they are in tears as they're posting, ending the conversation and advising them to step away from a topic that is obviously triggering upsetting emotions IS the compassionate thing to do.
My only interest in any of these "50 Shades" threads is setting out the facts - and the facts in this case are that the book does not depict rape or domestic abuse. It depicts a particular form of sexual expression between consenting adults. You may find such activities to be distasteful, or even abhorrent. That's your problem, not mine.
Your persistent attempts to convince others that your interpretation of this book is the ONLY interpretation to be considered has become downright laughable. And I see from your OP on a court case which only peripherally references the book that you continue to mischaracterize -- or downright lie about - what that case entailed. Many in that thread have pointed that out to you, but - as always - you simply ignore any facts that are contrary to your own position.
"Naturally you want someone who has read the book and sites research on it to stay away."
LA's own comment was: "I tried to read it but it set off sirens of triggers." So she didn't read it - and for good reason. But again you don't bother actually reading what someone posts; you fly off on one of your tangents and proffer as fact things that are completely contrary to what has been stated.
I'm done. I find it impossible to carry on a conversation with anyone who deliberately and consistently mis-states facts in order to further an agenda that is based solely on the mistaken idea that their opinion is to be deferred to in all matters, and the facts be damned.
