Just a SWAG that there is a poster named Convextech and he blamed a victim somewhere, at some point. Just a hunch though since the OP decided not include a single bit of context or a fucking link anywhere in their post. ---

I presume [this is the post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20659847#post20659847) that has the OP irate. Which is admittedly Pit-worthy, but this wasn’t exactly the best execution. ---

Loach != convextech (unless you are claiming sockage!!!) 🙂 Anyway, I think Troutman linked it. Either way we need more effort from the OP on their next attempt at a pit. ---

I thought it might be a health issue, an attack of some sort. **pha** , come back to the thread and tell us you’re ok! _(preferably in clearly written sentences…)_ ---

I was 12 years old when I was molested by my grandmother’s brother. I told him off, and told my parents. Unfortunately, my parents decided not to do anything because it would cause strife in the family. So yeah. SPEAK UP! Waiting for years does nothing for you, and your attacker isn’t going to be punished either, unless a bunch of women come forward with you, not to mention all the other people the attacker is still molesting because you remained silent. We have a responsibility! Just happened to see this thread by accident and wanted to set the story straight. 50 year old woman now, and still fighting for the rights of women who come forward in enough time that it actually matters. ---

> [@convextech](#): > > Just happened to see this thread by accident and wanted to set the story straight. 50 year old woman now, and still fighting for the rights of women who come forward in enough time that it actually matters. That statement does seem to be at odds with this one: > [@](#): > > If you can’t stand up and point it out the minute it happens, you shouldn’t be allowed to come back years later and ruin somebody’s career over it. You being silent gave them a free pass. ---

Unfortunately, my parents decided not to do anything because it would cause strife in the family. Why are you telling us about it now? You didn’t tell us at the time, so now you should shut the fuck up. Or would that be rude and ridiculous to say?
