Dear kirby104, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I could not help but notice that you made a statement in post #46, that you asked for mutual respect and in turn, you got mocked, threatened and assaulted.
Now, it has been requested by other posters and now I also ask, in what manner have you been mocked, threatened and or assaulted. Apparently, from your own post--the authorities were not interested in the pursuit of this incident. In legal circles, to investigate further, prosecute and take it to trial--elements of threats, assault and such must be present. Otherwise, the legal authorities' hands are tied and helpless as well.
There are certain criterias that have to be met as to fulfill the premises of 'assault.' In each state and country, it reads differently. In Washington, DC --a mere touch, such as a finger touching you without your expressed consent is grounds for assault yet, the law goes on as to make a distinction between an accidental brush or touch, such as to excuse themselves as to get by--requiring your attention via a touch. The real focus is the 'intent' to do harm and or injury which satisfys the Courts in DC. Unfortunately, the law does not cover or prosecute cases of hurt feelings and the emotional jerking about. The courts would be flooded with cases of people's hurt feelings or dignity and or wounded pride.
It is not an attack on you, the situation and or making light of what might have taken place. However, there are two sides of the story and at times the story needs to be looked at more closely and elements explained. But, I am of the belief, most here answering and or reading your story would much prefer seeing how they may assist in seeing you close the door on an unfortunate chapter and do the best to see you make a fresh start.
That said, please do understand--that a lot of forum readers read those posts to which is really a created 'drama' as to create a knee-jerk reaction and or create a response as to pounce on well meaning responding posters. It is also evident, that some will post to pull one's last nerve and or the last bit of patience a person has. Anger being an emotion, it is not often rational. I am just hopeful that when things calm down for you--that you can see a lot of individuals are just trying to understand, be supportive and give their opinions based on what they have to work with--which is what and how you write about.
Just some thoughts.
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs
