@34: Holy shit. Not the "how can we know anything?" argument. No one is on trial. She was simply asking Dan if it was a good idea to contact him. I can't believe you're making me repeat this, but I AM NOT ARGUING THE CASE. All I have said is that she is being perfectly reasonable in asking Dan whether or not contacting the boy is likely to help her. I'm not arrogant enough to claim to know what happened or how she should feel about, and I'm not presumptuous enough to suggest she "shift" her perception from something that might very well be the truth.

I would have played "Chariots of Fire" on my Ipod and applauded until my hands bled but only if he ran away from me as fast as possible.

@26: My perception is quite clear. I don't know what the boy's intentions were, the LW isn't sure, and Dan isn't either:

While it's possible your ex-boyfriend did this on purpose—he knew you wouldn't agree to it, he went ahead and did it anyway, you feel violated because you were violated— it's also possible that this was an accident.

That's what "ambiguous" means. All the near-consensus in the world isn't going to change that. I'm actually not arguing the case at all, just pointing out that she is reasonably asking what to do about something that affected her. Your insistence that the LW accept the scenario as people who weren't there see it suggests you might want to do some perception-adjusting of your own.

@13: Neither one of us knows what went down. Your guess is exactly that: a guess. She was asking Dan whether or not she should seek an apology for what was personally traumatic for her. She herself set aside what his intentions may or may not have been- it shook her up and lingered in her mind, so she wants to resolve it. My point is it's not known if this qualifies as "normal-ass adolescent fumblings" and it doesn't matter. She was simply asking Dan a question, not screaming rape at what might (or might not) have been a clueless 14-year old boy. I think her response is pretty measured.

@1: Proving Dan absolutely right about the online comment thing, a 14-year old girl gets called "a hysterical shrew" for reasonably asking whether an ambiguous but personally traumatic incident is worth seeking an apology for. Misogynists are so depressingly predictable.

May 20 lolorhone commented on "Hillary Clinton needs to be convicted, she needs to be tried, convicted and shot in the vagina. I wanna pull the trigger.".

Jesus Christ, it's like Republicans, in or out of power, never learn- you can't will reality to fit your own agenda. Hillary Clinton is not Oliver North. Obama is not Nixon. Benghazi is not 9/11 or any kind of equivalent. Fox News can come all over themselves trying to make the Obama administration's missteps into historic, impeachable offenses, but that doesn't make them anything but the alarmist liars they always were. This asshole on internet radio is just a saltier version of the same bloodthirsty, hateful, retrograde partisan douchebags that erupted in hives the second Obama got elected.

May 20 lolorhone commented on Slog Overnight.

I don't care about people kissing their cats. But Sixpence None The Richer? Making chaste Christian teen makeout music in perpetuity? Providing the soundtrack to countless saccharine WB moments? Radiating innocence but suggesting cult-like brainwashing and white-robed, hand percussion-heavy prayer circle jams? THAT is nauseating.

May 18 lolorhone commented on America Doesn't Care About Black People.

@31 @50: If charming turns of phrases like "goofy conspiracy negroes" in previous posts hadn't already convinced me you're a completely ignorant bigot, accusing a black woman you don't know of being an uneducated, poor, criminally inclined bottom-feeder with kids she can't take of pretty much sealed it. Oh, the stilted ebonics was a nice touch as well. I do so love the wisdom and righteousness of laptop racists. And I'm sure that righteous wisdom would be gladly restated to the face of a black person, right?

Margaret Cho: "I have pretty low standards... but he was just unfuckable." Not about dog fuckers, but applicable.

@14: Just the first month's rent was free. And this exploitative asshole was supposed to be his friend. And, besides, not wanting to be a fucking prostitute does not a "taker" make.
