Just want to keep the thread current, so that the usual suspects don't forget that an absence of reply can only be construed as agreement of the criticisms made of their views thus far.

[pixie374]

Neither did I suggest you did, spice, so I could say the same to you...

[Spicerack]

//While you clearly know nothing, khandro. I was very wary about getting involved on here, particularly because of your and spicerack's attitudes. But, as there are likely to be others reading who are equally disgusted, I will...
What exactly are either of you banging on about previous behaviour for? Are you actually saying that they chose to be treated like this?
Is it as simple as that, to you?//

Suck it up, buttercup.

[pixie374]

I didn't say you said they deserved it. I asked you to clarify what difference it made.

[Spicerack]

Stop wriggling, lol.

[pixie374]

Why don't you? In what way does the woman's behaviour make a difference?
I have had this conversation with you before, as svejk, and you were just as irrational then.

[Spicerack]

I explained it to Andy. Why should I repeat it?

[pixie374]

You didn't "explain" it. You just made the same claim.

[Spicerack]

I know your mentor convinced you that white men are the root of all evil, but do you honestly believe that every man accused of rape should be automatically found guilty?

[pixie374]

Of course not. This thread is not about that anyway. And nobody has ever convinced me of that. Please, stop trying to tell me what I think and believe. Because you never get it right.

[Spicerack]

Didn't tell you, I asked you.
Got that right. x

[pixie374]

The first sentence ... who is my mentor? And when have I ever said that?

[pixie374]

I'll word this differently, as it got removed, for another reason, I think. But it will allow you to answer...
Spice, what difference does a woman's behaviour make?

Do you have a response to pixie's question, beyond simply being rude to her?

It's interesting that the other protagonists whose arguments I have destroyed have simply slipped away, and left it to you as the lone voice trying to find reasons why Weinstein was not guilty because the women he assaulted are in varying degrees culpable in his behaviour.

But you seem to have taken up the mantle, so I am interested to read your response - if you have one?

[Khandro]

No he ain't alone, but some are simply tired of listening to your pomposity.

[Spicerack]

Ditto.

[andy-hughes]

Khandro - // No he ain't alone, but some are simply tired of listening to your pomposity. //

Listening?????

Are you hearing voices???????????????

Or are you just being rude because your attitude has been exposed and you actually have no answer, except to be offensive?

[andy-hughes]

Spicerack - // Ditto. //

Please see my response to Khandro - looks like you have both run out of steam, and naomi has decided not to bother, so we are where we are - me asking a reasonable question, and you too being rude in response.

[ABSpareEditor]

We encourage lively debate but name calling, harassment or abuse will not be tolerated. Please stick to the topic being discussed.

This thread is now open.

In view of the PE's valid point -

To reiterate my personal position - it is my perception that at least two posters on this thread are inferring that Mr Weinstein was not convicted of some of the offences with which he was charged on the basis of the 'behaviour' of the alleged victims.

In my view, such a position is unacceptable, and I am happy to debate that stance with anyone who wishes to defend it.
