In my self appointed role as forum peacemaker I am trying to make people aware of the kind of behaviour patterns they are locked in. If I can change then we all can change. 🙂

No small surprise either

indeed 🙂 I think I always had gentle qualities which at times shone through.

I did not read all of the thread; I only spot read. I was asking you, what you want out of this thread. The reason I asked you that was; you seem to be telling everyone what to do or not do and you’re not the starter of the thread. So, there is something you want, and maybe I did miss it. I have not posted here before because this thread seems to be so controversial and rape is a subject not to be taken lightly. There are people who have had their lives turned upside down by rape. To ask if it is wrong is to ask if violating these people is wrong. You also asked people to say why they came to their opinion, would you ask that of a rape victum?

I want people to not spot read, to not come in on the last page and say something stupid or irrelevant, which seems to be a tall order here. It's not an unreasonable request though is it?

You proved my point. He's not asking if it's wrong, he's saying it is, but what MAKES it wrong.

This is exactly what I mean. People don't pay attention. Pay attention, read the thread or do not comment.

AC in my new (self appointed) role as forum peacekeeper, I implore you, please treat other members with the respect you wish 🙂

He asked, I answered.

Simple.

yes - but with all due respect, don't you think we should all make an effort to argue things in a more polite manner, rather than say things we could escalate situations to a higher level. Look at PVS and myself - I am now on his ignore list 🙂 due to his anger at my posts, can't we all agree to argue civily.

Nobody here has any problem though. You're not needed for problem solving. I solve my own and there are none here.

You're not a peacekeeper and you're not a mod, so stop trying to act like one, thanks 😉

Hence, he is a self-proclaimed backseat moderator.

"GO LEFT !" 🙂

"NOW GO RIGHT ! "🙂

"ZEBRA CROSS ; SLOW DOWN! "🙂

"RED LIGHT ; STOP"🙂

"GIVE WAY ! " 🙂

Ahh but in solving your own are you making problems for others - you believe all life is linked, do you not see the irony in your aggressive stance my friend.

I am not trying to act like a mod (god forbid - that level of responsibility on a WEB FORUM - respect to the mods) - but I do believe I could be a moral beacon on these forums 🙂

RIGHT 🙂 but its self proclaimed "peacekeeper" nothing to do with mods - I never liked Parkas (English cultural reference - See Quadrophenia) 🙂

If you think there is anything wrong (as in breaking any rule) with someone's post, report it.

Putting yourself in between is not warranted.

Exactly - just report anything you think to be out-of-line.

"You don't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need."

You should tell the mods to close all threads that are in danger of being too long, but you are not in charge. You can not make me do anything anymore than I can make you do anything. If you have an axes to grind, don’t waist your time grinding it on me. It will only get you banned.

What makes rape wrong is the same reason it is wrong. The way it changes a person is hard to understand. Besides the obvious physical harm, there is a harm that can’t be put into words.

What I saw when looking though this thread was someone in pain. To tell you the truth, I have my own reasons why I am here, and why I don’t want to read all of this thread.

Sorry, but I wonder if you have a problem, and if you do, I hope you find an answer that will make you happy. It has taken me a lot of years to find the answers that make me happy.
