I'm just saying.. he compared to rape, pedophilia, and then my friends as theives..

I'm sure if he took 30 seconds he could think of a nicer way to get the message across..



Not trying to bash ya, but when I add input then have to read something personal in return it seems a bit unfair..

There was nothing the least bit personal about my responses... They were simply reasoned arguments.

That's the way I get my point across. I take one extreme or familiar situation to which people already have strongly established associations of right or wrong, appropriate or inappropriate, and I draw parallels between that issue and the issue at hand.

There was most certainly no personal attack intended in any of my posts, and I honestly can't understand how you read them that way... For example, where do find that I call your friends thieves? My whole point in that post was that people (you included, I'm assuming) don't treat their friends as thieves, because there is a bond of trust and respect between them.

Do you make your friends empty their pockets every time they leave your house to prove to you they haven't stolen anything?

seems pretty easy to point out..

and like I said I understand what you are doing.. but there are ways to do the same thing without putting images of rape in peoples minds..

okay okay enough already.. points made.

Let me say this to you... I have issues with males because I was hurt very bad by one but Pred has never scared me in that way.  He is one of the kindest, caring people I know.  Please don't add any more insults to him because I am offended now.

What I went through was very painful.  All males are not evil... some are but not all of them.  God placed people in my life at the right times to help me deal with things and again like I said Pred though hes younger then me was there.  He means well and has done an amazing job with eagle.

That said.... I absolutely hate it when people use the word rape and somehow I missed that because I know Pred.  I am sure Pred will remember this.  Also remember there are some things that don't need to be discussed publicly and can go to pms.  Easier to fix and less people get involved and hurt.

and now I want to thank you all for your comments if anyone has anyother suggestions please feel free to post them.
