Are you replying to me? This seems unrelated, but just in case this wasn't a
slip of the mouse I'll give you my thoughts. I'll correct you on one part of
the problem as you describe it: There are two people alleging to have been
assaulted, not one. I most certainly see this as small potatoes, but I do
concede that it depends on how you've calibrated the scale. I know neither
person involved, it doesn't sound that bad as far as altercations go, and this
sort of thing is not that uncommon. Of course it's not that common up on
Fromme, but really, the density of people up there is pretty low too. There
also isn't much to discuss about the incident itself, not just because of the
opacity in determining what really happened due to conflicting stories and
substandard reporting, but also because it is in the past. My aim in
commenting here has been to dampen what I consider to be an out of proportion
response that was ongoing.
Well if my Grandma had a dick she could have been coal miner. Cliche, I know.
I'm amused by the fact you feel so confident in what my response would be to
your hypothetical. Normally it takes people at least half an hour in person
with me for them to work out that I so predictable. I'm not just trying to be
pigheaded when I say that I'm not sure if I would think it was more
significant. I don't think I'd be swayed that much by gender, it's immaterial
really, but there are so many variables to consider. If someone had shown
signs of ongoing indiscriminate pattern of violence was lurking up there I'd
think it was much more important, primarily because I'd see the problem as
ongoing in that case.
I can't really follow what you wrote after the hypothetical, sorry. I think
it's totally reasonable to defend oneself when being attacked by anyone, so it
seems we agree there. I'm perilously close to my bottom dollar as it is, and
I'm not a betting man so I don't think I'd take that wager. Hell, even despite
the wanky comment I made about stereotyping I can't tell if you're being
sexist or not. Honestly, it would be great if you could clarify the second
half of your comment. I'll respond if you do.
Oh, and if this was a slip of the mouse, I hope you at least got a little
smile from the cliche I used. It's one of my favourites.
