Thanks for the response.
This is exactly the kind of stuff that keeps you on my excluded list.
We both know the only reason I'm on your distrust list is because I put you on mine.
This has nothing to do with the topic or the rating he received.
That's why I apologized for going off topic in the first place. That's why I asked for clarification on something (unrelated) that struck me as odd.
If you want to scrutinize the target of abuse until you feel you have reached a point of false equivalence start your own topic on the matter if it is so critically important.
I'm not here to scrutinize the victim, I have no desire to do so. I'm not looking for any excuses or false equivalencies. But, being the victim of abuse does not shield one from the ramifications of also being abusive. Just because this topic was started to point out one type of abuse doesn't mean I should ignore the potential existence of another.
