ORIGINAL: xoxi What do you mean I'm denying credence to the process that made him her guardian? I'm simply saying that if the state KNEW how he was treating his ward, they just might have a problem with it. Yes, if the Vanilla state were to judge any bdsm relationship that comes to it under the guise of competency, they would have a problem with it. quote:
Also I don't define mentally incompetent as "seeing pink fucking elephants and telling people about it" - a mentally incompetent person could very well be able to relay objective facts such as "he broke my bones" or "I was in a psychiatric hospital" - the question of competency comes in when it's non-objective, such as being able to make sound judgement, and productive decisions. So someone who sees "pink fucking elephants" and tells people about it is capable of making "sound judgment and productive decisions"? quote:
If everything she wrote was a delusion then "Daddy" might not even exist, and so I don't think a nonexistant person would have ap roblem with me judging him. I am taking the words at face value and proclaiming judgement on them as though they are factual. If any or all of it is not factual, the judgement does not stand, as it was made with the assumptions that everything said was true. Including the part where she says this is right for her, better than anything she's known, etc? Including the fact that, aside from the extremity of her relationship, nothing she says gives the slightest hint of mental incompetency: she is aware of her decisions and aware of the consequences for those decisions and has accepted those consequences? She is articulate? She has dealt with this response before, yet still comes out here and talks about it? She has access to others? She is not isolated from contact or differing points of view? Are you not judging her solely because you believe her to be in the situation she's described and she's not asking for help? quote:
Not only is this theoretical, but irrelevant as well - I see no point in derailing conversations to the point of "well you might be lying, for all I know you're not even a woman." That's not my point. You are judging her for not doing what you would do. quote:
I was hospitalized for attempting suicide. All I know is, trying to take my life multiple times, cutting myself, having two eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia) as well as a slew of drug problems did not lead my 19 year old self to be declared mentally incompetent. In fact it was never even considered, and it's not a matter of one shrink saying "blam you're incompetent" - there are hearings involved, it's a serious fucking issue. I will take your 'what ifs' more seriously when they become remotely plausible. It all depends upon the circumstances: who is pushing for the declaration, who will be guardian, what factors were involved, how much cooperation do you give the process or do you fight it, how good is your lawyer. quote:
I have no vendetta against this girl. I'm not trying to get anyone arrested. I'm not even saying he should stop being her guardian. I'm saying he should stop exposing his guardian to the threat of serious injury, illness, and death. Seriously. Just fucking quit it. You don't have to break a bitch's bones to get her to listen and if you do, then your skills as a Dominant are sorely lacking. I do none of those things. Nor am I trying to defend such activities. What I am defending is the right of each of us to live our lives as we believe our lives should be lived. Props says this life is right for her. Those are the words you do not believe, but I do. Is she saying everyone should live her way? No. So why should you, or anyone else, get more worked up over how she lives her life than she does? Because she's not making the choices you want her to make?
