Actually, she laughed pretty hard when she came across this as she was looking for something else in the archives: "Oh, Robin, sometimes I wish you would say to your critics something along the lines of 'I am what I am. If you don't like it, go fuck yourself,' but I guess that's not your style. Over the last few days I felt like I was a voyeur at some kind of War Crimes Tribunal or at one of those sessions they have in prisons where victims get to confront those who wronged them. It all seems a bit over the top. I would say: Stuff happens. Get used to it. But again, that might be a little blunt for your elegant mind. I'm also reminded of a passage in D. H. Lawrence's Women in Love, where the character Birkin says something like, 'For every murder there is a murderee, someone who wants to get murdered.' So I think everyone has to take responsibility for the situations they get into rather than being so eager to lay blame and whine about being a victim." --feste37, August 8, 2012 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/316486
