Nope. I see a guy who _gasp_ does something when an adult is mistreating a child.

Are you sincerely insinuating that you don’t think he’d do anything if the abuser in question was physically larger than him?

I guess that is what I am saying. Yes.

What exactly is your damage bayonet? You act as if Phlosphr does this sort of thing weekly! Both times he has confronted someone helpless kids have been involved! How in the hell do you know that he would not confront a man his size or larger if he witnessed a child being abused or neglected?!

No, I see a pattern emerging too-however, what I see is that **Phlosphr** openly speaks up when children are abused in his presence.  
I would like you to address my question however,so I’ll repeat myself:

Now, how about you explain the reasons for your opinion? Try and make them sound as not-stupid as possible. Take your time, you’ll need it.

OK Fine!!

When I was in prison I was sexually assaulted by a man claiming to be a woman. She/he was actually two midgets on top of one another the one on top was a woman the one on the bottom was a man, thats why I felt that _thing_ in my ass.

See how ridiculous that sounds! :mad:

**Bayonet** - I have tried repeatedly to tell you that **YES, HAD IT BEEN A MAN I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING**

Your blatent disregard for my statement tells me you simply do not want to hear it or are not reading my posts. I rarely have a conflict with my wife we have a mutual respect for each other. I never argue with waiter’s or waitress’ because I used to be a waiter in grad school and I remember what it was like. I usually pay my taxes on time - if I didn’t my wife has a guillotine. I generally do not like confrontation.

However, when I do argue with someone I do so with a little tact. And what really goes up my ass sideways is when grown adults abuse people weaker and/or in someway beneath them. And Yes, I don’t care if it was **Andre the Fucking Giant** I’d still get in his face if he were hitting a little boy, or worse yet someone with a mental disability.

It pisses me off. And it was an exercise in self control last eveing to not get more angry at the woman and call DCF on her…

**bayonet** , on what grounds are you making this accusation? As far as I can see, the only evidence you have is that on the two occasions you know of, the abuser was smaller than him. But he’s over six feet tall! It’s statistically likely that the majority of the people he encounters will be smaller than him.

By the way, I’m a 5’2"\* female, and I admit I would be less likely to directly approach an abuser who is much larger than me. I would be afraid of him. (I would try to report him, but that’s a different thing.)

\*Or 5’1". Something in between. Maybe 5’1 3/4. One must be precise in these things.

Jeez Laweez, bayonet, you pea-brain. You COMPLETELY miss the point of the post and somehow make the issue that Phlosphr is bigger than the horrible troglodyte. So, what the hell is your point, if any?

Since you make the leap of analyzing Mr P’s character and state that he would not have the courage to say anything if the offender was larger, I’ll do the same for you. You’ve shown no evidence of ever standing up for anything or anyone, and thus a coward. Mr P is at least 2 incidents better than you that we know of. You sniveling little weasel. Mr P wasn’t asking for a medal or any acclaim for himself, just ranting about this sub-human abuser.

Hmm, you’re right, **Phlosphr** has always been most forthright on his posts regarding child abuse and his outrage. Whoops, except for [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=196832&highlight=raping+blind+daughter) .

Ooooooooh, Nice stab at being “not-stupid”, bayo-nette, but you didn’t quite make it. Keep plugging.

So now your panties are in a bunch cause he has seething rage for a father who rapes his 13 yr old daughter, among other children under his charge. Well how un-forthright (huh???). I guess we can take a bayo-nette style leap and say that apparently you approve of that behavior, or a least think that moral indignation in unwarranted.

Darwin in action, dontcha know!

her bebe will most likely die of one form of neglet or another. If not black-lung, then step-daddy beating it to death, or the ever-available “but officer i just walked away for a minute” hot car of death. I’m betting on the hot car.

I remember that thread. Seems to me that **Phosphr** was going on something a police friend of his had told him. He had no reason to doubt if it was correct or not. When many people called him on it and it ended up being false he apologized.

Is that all you’ve got?

Two guys talking about a blind girl getting raped (when in actuality a sighted boy) I did not have any reason to think we was exaggerating, I did wonder how he knew so much since he was on vacation helping me and not at work (policeman). Trickle down effect in this situation landed on me. I appologise.

Wow, you’re right, that is about the least forthright thing I’ve ever seen.

Now, get it straight, are you calling him a coward or a liar?

I did appologize and I was wrong in that thread.

Thanks **Bayonet** for successfully hijacking this thread because of a nitpick. Are you done yet? May I continue my rant?

Where was I?

Hacking Lady said, “What the Hell Business is it of yours?”

Well HL first of all, do you not care that you are polluting that poor kids lungs to no end? They are still forming and growing, you are making her breath in that filth you are spouting all over her face. Why don’t you put that cig down and let the kid get some air? For Chrissake don’t you know how much harm you are doing to her poor little lungs?

Is what I should have said. My wife was right there as well. But I didn’t. I kept walking and shoook my head. I wish I knew why people did things like this. Pollute your body whilst on oxygen if you want. But come on now…in a babys face?

Perspective.

**bayonet’s** comments on the OP

> [@](#):

> You know, while in a way I kinda agree with your concern…

A lukewarm agreement on the shittiness of the mother’s actions.

The mother who was spewing toxic fumes and god knows what else on her baby.

Followed by post after post about **Phlosphr’s** motivation (and height).

Huh. Guess he has **his** priorities in order. :rolleyes:

Relying on memory alone is a tricky thing. The opening line of the linked thread reads:

It was only later in the thread that **Phosphr** brought in the policeman friend as the source.

Maybe you could have gotten her arrested for public endangerment. Oxygen and fire (lit cigarette) **IS** an explosion waiting to happen!
