Some folks think this site is being overrun by the SO's and there are a lot of flames going up.
Here are the groups that we are supposed to choose from: Child Molesters, Pedos, Pedo-Pushers, Victims, RSO's, and RSO Supporters.
How are we supposed to have any intelligent discourse going on when we are all labeling each other that way?
In my opinion, narrow-minded people like to label others that way. It keeps things simple. We all aren't in an easily-labeled group.
I actually found myself defending to a perfect stranger that I am a rape victim. I am not the first one to have faced this challenge. I'm supposed to be on a side, right? Well, I'm sorry, I don't have one. I have empathy for the victims and the SO's, and I know I am not the only one. But I can't say anything without somebody pointing out for me that I am clearly deranged because my husband is an RSO (who is probably reoffending at this moment, according to some on this board). The same things happen to the "child molesters" who obviously have nothing intelligent to add, based on their "status." If you are a victim and have something to say in "defense" of an RSO, well, then, you probably aren't really a victim.
Speaking of victims, people are wondering why there aren't more victims in the victims forum or elsewhere. Take a look at the threads there for yourself. One getting alot of action lately is about a woman who married an RSO. Yeah, I bet someone who was attacked recently really cares about this. Most of the posts over there go something like this: HOW COULD ANYBODY CARE ABOUT A CHILD MOLESTER!!!! Again, very helpful and informative for victims. This site has become one big RSO-bashing fest.
It is unfortunate, but this site is starting to remind me of Junior-High School. It is really too bad, because this is such a serious issue.
Call me a dreamer, but it would be really nice if we could all just respect each other without all the childish name-calling. I don't think that is too much to ask from adults.
Otherwise, go right ahead and respond that I'm just some pedo-pushing lunatic. For some people, the only way that they can feel powerful is to put down others. I wouldn't want to take that away from anyone.
