You appear to be implying that she asked for it. Is that it? As in, "You know you want it, baby,"?-- Is that
what you're implying with those insinuating questions? That she is getting what she deserves? Wants?


Not even close. In an alleged stalking case, or a "date rape," law enforcement (with which you seem to have no acquaintance) would most definitely be obliged to ask those kinds of questions, and more. Do you imagine that all criminal investigations are confined only to the complainant's side of the story? Only to the complainant's version of the facts?

As to your example of a "pure torment" CH post: Worse "torment" takes place every day on school playgrounds. Most all children learn to handle it easily, as one of life's preparations. When we grow be to be adults, we are supposed to have much more maturity in differentiating genuine threats from annoying taunts. Of course, those who share your view of CH as the Frankenstein Monster on the loose, will always interpret a "Good Morning" from him as a dire, deadly threat requiring immediate SWAT team response.

As to my comment about rage management, it is far from non-substantive. It is, in fact, much more substantive than anything I have said above (in answering your questions), in terms of the dire state that this thread has descended into.
