Gosh, you're posting to me a lot.
So I am saying "NO" to discussions of past events concerning you, me, Poet, et. al. I am not saying no to all possible future relationships with you. We can still go on electronic dates, meet at a SI friend's house, etc. We just won't go all the way. I am asking you not to verbally assault me, and I deem your continued dredging up of long dead and buried issues to constitute assault. I say no to your assaulting me. But I don't say no to friendly relations. Just as a woman is entitled to say to a man, no, you can't rape me, but we can still go out to dinner together.
I have reminded you of certain things, but I have not verbally assaulted you, because I have not in the slightest mischaracterized your past egregious behavior, or its unhappy effects on your main victim, or the comic ironies of your present advocacy of the "No means no" position, or, most important, the fact that you have done nothing in the intervening months that would set it right, that is, that would "bury" the issues you describe as having become "buried" ones.
They aren't buried to me. When I see your name, I have bad memories, and sad ones.
The whole "electronic dates" and "going all the way" metaphor is yucky, btw. |
