Mme. Chaucer Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 While I agree, I do not at this point see what value there is in reminding him of this fact about 400 times per thread. The value is for myself. Being a woman, I often feel like saying something when I am confronted with warped and disrespectful views of women. I also respond to warped and disrespectful views of groups of which I'm not a member. SD probably gets it more often because he posts a lot more than most people. In this thread, I am remarking on an attitude I am offended by, not trying to help SD OR point out how "unusual" he is. I don't think he IS particularly unusual. The assistance that SD81 needs goes far beyond what a handful of strangers on the internet can provide for him. With that said, the words that have actually gotten through to him have come from people who are not hellbent on emphasizing how unusual he is and make broader statements, but rather from those who have actually made good-faith attempts to actually answer his questions with a minimal amount of judgment. Your recent responses in particular have been light on actual advice and heavy on judgment. Link to post Share on other sites
