Here's one of them, from October 2 of last year: ----- Having read all the relevant posts, I am utterly baffled and appalled at Share's use of this term ["psychological rape"] to describe her interactions with Robin. I'd be very curious to know where she got it from. Did someone suggest it to her? This is such a serious charge, it's really important to review some of the background. In her post today, Share writes: "Just for the record, this is exactly why I got so upset initially with Robin about the Russian flash mob post. Being psychologically raped didn't feel good then just as it doesn't feel good now." Here is Share's initial comment to Robin about his reaction to her remarks about the flash mob video (September 4): "Yes I will excuse your presumption if you excuse my not going down this particular rabbit hole again....So no problemo. Sigh, btw, I notice I'm feeling grumpy this morning. Blaming it on the sugar I ate yesterday. Somehow I've become very sensitive to sugar. Anyway, Robin, apologies for taking it out on you." http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/319178 And here is what she wrote to Robin on September 9 concerning this interaction: "As for what my feelings were, I didn't suffer or feel insulted. Nor did I think you were being hurtful or cruel. I simply did not want to pursue the theme of whether or not I was being the real me. Nor the theme of my alleged hyper positivity." http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/319500 So at the time that it happened, Share felt a little grumpy and apologized to Robin. Four days later, Share affirmed that she had not been insulted, did not suffer, did not think Robin was being hurtful or cruel. [This was the point at which Curtis jumped in.--JS 4/8/13] Today, four weeks later, it was "psychological rape." Something isn't right here. Somehow Share has become convinced that what at the time had caused no more than a little grumpiness on her part (which she attribted to eating sugar anyway) was a terrible act of emotional violation equivalent to rape. (She had completely misinterpreted Robin's remarks in any case, and he had practically stood on his head explaining himself in the kindest possible manner.) The charge was made in public about an FFL member. I think we need an explanation. What, or who, caused Share to change her mind so drastically? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/321696
