You are doing exactly what you are excusing me of doing, except in the opposite direction from what you perceive I am doing.
So it's okay if you do it but not for people opposing your viewpoint?
Alright then. Good to know.

This again
PM me if you have a real problem with me, but that scenario was just riffing off one thrown out there already (which, btw was pretty damn close to what happened). I riffed off another out there specifically to avoid throwing out anymore speculation and give some example of why we could chill out for a sec.
Then you entered the discussion to challenge all of us having a discussion (or, 'mental gymnastics'), so I suggested you stop. Then someone else makes a suggestion of an allegation they still haven't followed up on... and you're all over the next guy for 'victim shaming'... so I suggested you stop.
So I'm going to do it again, stop. This is a discussion, and sometimes we look at the other side of the coin - which is recommended. Kicking the door in and drawing lines in the sand on where you think everyone stands is introducing an argument for no reason.
So just have a discussion with us, and chill out. The news sucks enough already, so do you mind allowing people somewhere to chat it out?
