It's hard for me to see as a victim one who has been begged to cease his unwelcome and unwholesome-feeling attentions-- begged and more than begged; veritable delegations of negotiators have attempted to save him from himself, it seems to me, in an attempt to end again the situation that had already been ended (until the lawsuit threat allowed the one you see as the victim and I see as the instigator to recommence his drive to engage.)

We're free to have sympathy for anyone we want to and to withhold it from their victims, if victims they have. In my case, I have genuine sympathy for Christopher, since I think he's in the grip of something bigger than he is and is suffering from it; but not enough sympathy so that I'm willing to overlook the effects his behavior has had on Poet.

I see no reason the timorous should stay off SI, if a moderated thread will allow them to stay. This discussion, as I see it, is about a way the person for whom you have the greater sympathy may join that party, too.

But he doesn't have to. I've about lost interest in trying to convince him to join us, myself.
