46. So, you are saying that I was rude?
Why? I stand by what I said. If you are going to attack me ("you" meaning anyone who would do that) then please back it up.

I do not feel I should have to be "civil" to someone who would attack a woman who has been raped, and who isn't willing or able to back it up with facts.

Am I emotional about this topic? You bet I am! But I am not some weeping crying little girl, Mr. Lisst. Asking for facts to back up an opinion is NOT weeping and crying. Its a rather "male" thing to do, actually. In fact, I would venture to guess that if I were SeattleBoy instead of SeattleGirl, would you even be questioning my "civility".

And BTW, I make no apologies for my feelings about rape. You want to ask me about specifics, fine. As I said, I will do my best to back my opinions up. If I can't, I will admit it.

But apologize for how I feel about the topic of rape itself? No way.
