Comparing rape to abortion...

Vex at this point I have to say something.

Are you ok? It seems like something much more than this is bugging you.

Well I certainly understand if you really don't want to talk about it, but we love you and we are here for you.

Ditto here my dear girl. I am open to you anytime you need someone to talk to.

GOSH SO SORRY FOR BEHAVING LIKE A HUMAN BEING. I WILL NOW UNPLUG MY EMOTIONS AND GO BACK TO THE PRODUCTION LINE.

Seriously? Fuck off. That is not what I said and that is not how my comment read.

You are the one who has deleted comments because you "don't want to feed the drama" and then undeleted them.

You are the one who has said you don't give a shit, you don't want to get involved any more, you don't want to be "dragged into this".

And you are the one who still replied to Darkmoon. It wasn't necessary. It was petty. It was continuing drama YOU have said you don't want to be part of.

If, as Gwynn has asked, there are other things going down which are bugging you, you have more than enough people willing to listen and help and care about you.

But the moment at which YOU act like you're above this, THEN undelete your comments, THEN continue to reply to Darkmoon and react that way to my comment? You are not the victim. You are a voluntary participant.

I know it can be fucking hard to step away from drama. But if you don't, only YOU are dragging yourself back into this.

At this point I'm not sure we can just sit and ignore what's wrong, even if you're saying you don't want to talk about it.

The fact that you're flipping out on Misk, whom we all know you love dearly, has me very worried. Please talk to us...or to someone, Vex. Whatever it is, it's hurting you.

And so did the lunatics on PLA treat you any differently when you made believe you were one of them?

I know it got lost in the maelstrom, but as far as I could tell, they didn't really treat her much different. Most of them still acted like she was as pro-choice as ever, and most were too busy calling her a man and other stupid hateful shit like that to really notice anyway.

Vex, hon, I'm just tossing my love into the mix here for you, and offering my support as well for whatever shit life's dumping on you currently. Take care of your lovely self, all right?

Is this conversation going on somewhere else? Because just reading this thread, it looks like this:

Vex said she was going to lie on PLA and try to make the idiots over there think she was agreeing with them.
Darkmoon didn't see this or forgot about it.
Vex makes aforementioned statements on PLA.
Darkmoon reads them and thinks Vex actually really means them, and gets irate.
Vex reminds Darkmoon about the fact that she was going to purposefully lie on PLA, and that she didn't really believe anything she was saying.

Maybe some of you can see why from here, this looks like a simple misunderstanding and I don't know why Darkmoon doesn't just say, "Oops! My bad," Sorry about flipping out on you Vex, but I really believed you when you wrote those things on PLA!"

And then the two of them break into a fit of laughter over the hilarity of the whole thing.

I have no idea what Darkmoon's reaction is, but I would offer an alternative: Saying you think an abortion is comparable to raping someone, EVEN IF you're "pretending", is still going to be really fucking hurtful to some people.

Vexing, you have got to be deliberately missing my point; the only person forcing YOU to read this thread and continue replying, is YOU. You keep saying you don't want to talk about it, you don't want to be dragged into this ... and then try to guilt-trip me for not bringing it up?

Tell you what, capslock-rage all you like to this. I'm over trying to explain this to you.

I won't delete the thread but I am locking it down. Mostly cause I can't deal with the sniping right now. Start a new thread if you like.
