After mentioning the fact that I’d been raped in my past, something I did only because you’d attempted to shame me on behalf of all the rape victims out there, you feel compelled to post this.

> \*\*

Excuse the fuck out of me? You don’t believe me? Wait while I let that incredibly disgusting remark sink in. Or don’t. Instead, how about you shut your ugly fucking mouth while you’re still somewhat ahead. You think it’s “convienent”, do you? You think that I, as a nine-year-old child, raped and humiliated, found it _convienent_, because I knew that at some point in my future I’d be able to use the experience to make a point against some random asshole on a fucking message board? I don’t even know how to begin explaining to you how angry that remark made me. And since you’ve never been raped (OBVIOUSLY, or you’d know better than to accuse someone of lying about it) it wouldn’t even matter if I could articulate what I’m feeling right now because there’s no way your heartless ass could ever hope to understand. But you’ve just spit on every tear I’ve ever shed over my rape. You say you’re “sorry”? Well, I agree. You are sorry. A sorry fucking excuse for a sentient human being.

And I find it highly ironic that in the same post, you dismiss somone’s opinion because of their registration date. This is not the first time I’ve talked about my rape around here, so maybe you’re the one who should put in a little more time before you go making incredibly insulting claims about what is and isn’t true. I can only hope you treat the women whose rapists you supposedly prosecute with a little more respect than you’ve shown me, you putrid fuck. I’m going to stop now, because I’m literally shaking with rage and I come here to enjoy myself, not to be driven to tears by pigs like you. But fuck you. May your fucking life be as devoid of happiness as your posts are of compassion. Hopefully, someone else can take up where I’m leaving off, because if anyone deserves it it’s you.

On the one hand no one deserves a pitting more than **Skid Row**.

On the other hand he’s not even worth the effort.

He was insulting to many people in that thread. Many he called by name and personally insulted. He also insulted huge numbers of parents who occassionally swat their children’s behinds, and called them ‘child beaters’ and worse.

But, oh **belladonna** , no one was insulted more than you.

I can only imagine how hard it must be for you to have to read that verbal diarrea spewing forth from him.

But consider the source. This isn’t a repected member of our little society. He isn’t someone whose opinion carries any weight at all. _No one_ is going to believe him above you.

Hard as it may be, don’t let this raving loony get to you.

Speaking of convenient things that I don’t believe:

> [@](#):

> _Originally posted by Skid Row in the other thread_  
> **I was “spanked” as a child. Daily. For talking back, not cleaning my room, making too much noise, et. al. The last of these took place when I was 13, almost 14. For not having my hair cut short enough. Seriously. At 5’10" and around 200 lbs, I knew that these “spankings” were just wrong. In a nutshell, after the dust settled, my dad had a broken mandible and a broken left orbital and my mom lost a tooth and a bit of pride.**

Bull fucking shit, **Skid Row**. This is a fantasy that has become reality in your mind, but didn’t happen. After reading that, you come across as a scared child that never has gotten beyond your abuse. If trying to make everyone else feel worse is your way of dealing with it, that’s pretty sad. Too bad you do a disservice to other victims of abuse that have managed to recover from their experiences.

You’re not excused from polite society because of what happened to you, scumsicle. Apologizing to **belladonna** would be a good way back in…

Yep…Skid Row is a real charmer alright. If one of my boys had spoken to **belladonna** like that, he would’ve gotten a damn sight more than a spanking.

The ‘abuse’ that **Skid** dished out in that thread, I suspect, has caused more pain and suffering than the smacking he is so quick to condemn.

Think about it Skid…abuse takes all sorts of shapes.

**Skid Row** is one of those few members here whose opinions/statements are not worthy of consideration or the time it takes to respond to them.

Check a few of his back posts, you’ll see what I’m referring to.

Wow. If ever someone needed to be banned, it was Skid Row, right here, right now.

I think he’s taken the “Don’t be a jerk” rule and rolled it up and used it as ass-wipe.

Appaling.

Oh, goodie goodie. I saw this thread title and thought to myself “why, it isn’t my birthday today!”

**Skid Row** you pathetic piece of shit, do you get off on verbally abusing people? Because that’s what you did in that thread.

I can get over your petty, childish insults directed at me, but what you did to **belladonna** is beyond assholish. It’s disgusting and downright bannable.

I will dance a little happy dance of joy when your sorry ass gets banned.

You mother fucking sorry excuse for a human.

Oh, my! That drippy dick has got you so upset, you can’t use the English language any more, **lezlers** 😃

But seriously, what a diseased asshole. I tried my best in the originally referenced thread to be polite to this guy (or whatever), but he conveniently started ignoring me.

**belladonna** I was so outraged by what he said to you that I almost felt physically nauseous for a moment, no kidding! I’m so sorry you had to put up with that!:eek:

That’s got to be among the top five statements on this MB that I’ve ever read with all the balls in the world behind it for totally the wrong reason.

I’m sorry if I wasn’t eloquent enough for you. :rolleyes:

If **Skid Row** doesn’t get his worthless ass banned for that, well, I’ll have lost at least a smidgen of respect for the administration here. I literally can’t think of something _more_ banworthy. I’d sooner give a pass to someone spamming plagiarized passages from _The Protocols of the Elders of Zion_ in ATMB than I’d let someone get away with shit like that. Asolutely disgusting and inexcusable.

My only hope is he comes in here and tries to “defend” himself.

Yanno, I find it _fascinating_ that someone who says he spends his working life prosecuting rapists should be apparently unaware that when a woman says she has been raped, you do not immediately respond by calling her a liar. :rolleyes:

I would like to pat this guy lightly on his diaper-clad ass… since, by his lights, this is apparently the direct equivalent of beating the shit out of him.

**lezlers** , this is me, neverminding. It was good natured, which is why I put a smiley behind it. His intentional mis-spellings of your name in the original thread pissed me off. I was just havin’ some fun with ya! 🙂
