However, the opening line of your OP is “This thread is suggested by a disturbing remark made in a support group I occasionally attending the real world.”.
Now, I know you are writing a book, you’ve referenced it before.
I know you try and do research for that book.
I also know that this is a hell of a leap, and I really hope that I am wrong.
So my question to you is simply this: Are you attending a support group for rape victims in order to do research for your book?
Or, if PMs are not your thing, why couldn’t you have bumped the original thread about this whole matter?
And, purely as a question for the sake of clarity, what exactly would the problem be if he did? The OP certainly thinks it to be something horrific and IMO should have stated it directly.
Oh, and that makes another thread on rape! Hide your orifices, for the dawn of the Avatar of Rape is upon ye.
Maybe the support group has nothing to do with rape at all. Maybe that comment was made in conversation with another member of kryptonite kleptomaniacs.
Most, if not all, support groups like this* wouldn’t allow an outsider to come in and take notes/research. I know Nicole Kidman was turned down when she asked to attend a loss-of-a-child support group to research “Rabbit Hole”.
*eta: if it was a rape survivor support group.
No idea whether Skald the Monomanic is trolling support groups for material for his Big Book of Hypothetical Rapes, but that “e” in “laudanum” is very, very wrong.
