No, I haven't found that to be the case. You can call her ignorant if you like, but insulting? You'd have to be terminally thin-skinned to believe that.

I've read many of her posts, not least because the conversation that surrounds them is always compelling. And I don't see what you see. I've read things similar to this before, concerning Dawn, and I find her civil and restrained - especially in view of what's typically slung at her.

I don't see a single insult in here - again, unless your flesh is phyllo. You can say she's wrong (I don't agree with her much), ignorant, blah blah blah, but not insulting. Sorry. That's just false, however much I disagree with her.

Were we talking about truth or insults? Different scopes. Dawn can be and has been wrong about various things, and some arguments I find compelling simply don't convince her at all. I don't think she lies, although I think she misinterprets things about the RM, things I've already spelled out elsewhere. All of the above is standard in debate, right?

Sorry I lack the encyclopedic knowledge of Dawn's word choices that you seem to have; I missed the "rapeist" line, although any rational person would interpret her use of the words "terrorist" and "rape" as metaphors for written attacks. Perhaps they're overblown, but she's certainly not actually accusing anyone of rape or terrorist acts.

hahahahahahahaha

I'm sorry, that's just funny. She said she was leaving, and you didn't believe her; you invoked her name, she replied, and now you're accusing her of having manipulated your mind to force you to do so?

OK, yes, here she does insult you. I found it clever, and padded for minimum discomfort, redness, swelling, and chafing.

A hideous lie; we're all reeling from the deception.
