Rape

American, I don't like you.

People get raped every day. And many cases never see trial for one reason or another.

My case never went to trial. I lost. Those boys got away. How does that make me Hellcat?

Fine then; sorry to hijack the thread. The 3 biggest disturbing events of my life: I tried to commit suicide. I'm doing better. I was raped. I'm doing better. I had cancer when I was 11 years old and I've been cancer free for over 15 years.

Do I make people uneasy? Well if you like, why don't you have Hal or someone ban me. I'd rather be banned than make people uneasy, anyway.
 
"Those frat guys raped me" reminds me of my friend... his name is John Smith.

But when I read you talking about killing and revenge fantasies, I was truly concerned.



My sincere apology if my skepticism is misplaced or completely wrong. Good night.
 
If I had it to do over again, I would use deadly force if I could. I have the feeling those boys had done something like this before, because they moved so efficiently. I would spare anyone in the future the trauma by taking the sin of killing onto myself, if I could.

Yes, I will say it again. If I had it to do over again, I would have defended myself to the utmost. I would have used deadly force. If I had known it was okay to use deadly force, I would have. I would even have killed them to save myself and anyone else.

It is misplaced and completely wrong. I do not fantasize about going out and killing people. I do think if something like this happened to me again I would fight back. I am honest about what I would do. What I would do if it happened again.

I don't see anything wrong with voicing what I would do to prevent something like this from happening again. I think being prepared and thinking ahead is a better plan than being totally unprepared and made a victim again.

Does that spell it out enough for your American?

Speaking of rape trials, any of you ever read "To Kill a Mockingbird"?

Not as many times as I heard that darned song "Hang down your head, Tom Dooley" (Another Tom in trouble).

I haven't read it since I had a class in er... was it American Literature? I've taken lately to the loathesome habit of downloading old classics that I was forced to read and reading them again on a PocketPC. I might just read this one again, along with Grapes of Wrath. I have a definate fondness for the writings of H.G. Wells (yet another repugnant habit of mine). As soon as I finish the Crystal Egg (again), I should have freed up enough memory for another round.

The cool thing is that most of these old classics are free from the UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA'S E-BOOK LIBRARY

Check it out.

Hellcat was banned a long time ago, and you registered in september. So how'd you know who that was? To me it looks more like I was calling you a hellcat, which would make more sense if you didn't know who that was, which you apparently did.

(This time I'm going to bed for real. Good night, again.)
 
Uhhh.... I think the Hellcat I.D. kit has just exploded...

Out of curiosity, how come you registered in May, but six of your posts (out of seven at time of writing) have been in the last two days?

Hiya

My husband is a regular here and has often said I should take the time to read and post - said it was well worth the time.

However, we have four small children and only on the friday did we get broadband access at home. Previously we had dial-up and here in Ireland it costs by the minute to use the internet on dial-up.
I preferred not to post until I had time to read and digest the threads.

Cheers
Toni

All right, who's your husband? Come on spill it!
 
Add on to my original post...


Somehow there needs to be more support in place for victims who don't have family support.
That would be a start...

And just what are you trying to insinuate?

Wicked person.

All right, I'll admit it, I am hellcat. All of other posters are too. I've been really busy arguing with myself. Actually, Lucy, there are only two posters on this board. You and I. I feel better now!:D

I don't think Flame is Hellcat.
 
My husband is Graham. I have been informed that some people may think I am someone called 'hellcat' ?
I will need to apologise to him for posting his name in this manner in this type of thread without discussing it, but it has come to my attention that I may not be taken seriously by some because they think I'm someone else.
That was all a bit convoluted but you get the point ;)

Amateur Scientist I have a question.

Before posing my question allow me remind to the rest of the people here ( I think that I have mentioned it to you in our previous discussions) that in my country the criminal law is a question of the victim versus an individual, it's not the State that prosecutes but the victim which is represented by a criminal lawyer who does the job a DA's office does- he has to prove the guilt of the accused. The State is present just to secure the procedure.

So, here is my question regarding your case.

When we see such a dichotomy between the Procecution and the Jury ( you said that their decision was unanimous-- that was impressive-congratulations BTW) don't you think that there is a problem?

Don't you think that we miss something? When it comes to such cases, personally I have the feeling that Justice wasn't served.

Hi Flame

Welcome to the forum and thanks for your understanding regarding this...errr... issue :)

I hope you will enjoy your staying in this forum, Graham is a very intelligent and interesting poster.

I am looking forward to more of your posts :)
 
Flame may or may not be Hellcat.. :eek:

But the Hellcat I.D. Kit created by Luciana is currently pointing to a certain poster who created a story here and then followed up with more life threatening dramas when challenged, just like the I.D. kit says it will.

Allow me to post a comment.

So far I have been lucky enough and I have never experienced such a violent incident but I cannot help wondering how a victim of rape feels when he or she reads posts like the ones above.

I am sure that in this board there are women who have been raped but they are not able to post such detailed accounts of this "experience".

Let us all have it in mind when we are discussing such delicate issues :)
 
I'm only speaking of Flame, and not any other poster if you know what I mean. Flame does not fit Luciana's Hellcat Detection kit tm. I do see a possible candidate, but am far from sure.

I thought you were Hellcat. Indeed it was me who specifically pointed to this thread as evidence of Hellcat style. My deepest apologies for this. I attempted to rectify my error, but it was too late, as the thread was quoted by another poster.

You, unfortunately, happened to have had several things in common in style of posting with a rather manipulative and unpleasant poster who I suppose made me rather paranoid. In particular, she had several dormant female identities from UK who she activated a few months in her posting. She also had a penchant for posting stories about cancer, abuse and rape. She was banned in July, but had a few socks still dormant. There was a resurgence of her activity in the last week.

The fact that you started posting again recently, had registered in May, were from UK, and had posted a harrowing story about rape all fit in with her style. Accusing you without further evidence was inexcusable, and I am deeply sorry for it. I am obviouly utterly unfit for dealing with this matter and will withdraw entirely from it.

As a side point, Graham is an utterly wonderful poster, and I extend my apologies to him as well.
 
Renata, that was a wonderful post. To be clear to the forum, another poster told me of suspicions that Flame might be Hellcat, not Renata.

I am, however, quite sure that Hellcat is still on this forum. She is probably gleeful at the chasm she has created in our community.

So, Renata, do we tell Flame about the skepchick hazing now or later?:D
