ORIGINAL: crazyml I am going to assume that there's a big misunderstanding at play here, and that you're not being a nasty little shitbag. The misunderstanding is either mine, or yours. My understanding of what PS was saying, and he said it in the context of "grooming" is that some of the victims were so vulnerable and so effectively "groomed" that they felt they were in love with their abusers. I did not understand his words to mean that that "love" was right or normal, or that it in any way excused the horrific acts of abuse that were perpetrated against them. It does seem that you, and Aylee, have interpreted his words as some how seeking to down play the horridness of these acts by making an argument that these girls were in "love" and "consenting" to the abuse. Now PS can clear it up simply by pointing out his intent, and if it turns out that his stance is that he does indeed believe that in some cases there was no abuse because the girls were in love with the people accused of abusing them then I will apologise to you both in spades, and join you in condemning the attitude. That said... Aylee's comedy post still stands as one of the most disgusting things I have read on these boards. Making a point with sarcasm doesn't make it comedy. If you can't see Aylee's post as having substantive content, then I suppose you wouldn't have thought Mark Twain. Moliere, Swift, Voltaire or H.L. Mencken had any substance, either, since they all used similar literary devices and figures of speech.
