Funny old thread this, isn't it? Bit of a case of tables being turned.
Seems that those who claimed to not like rudeness and persistence on the part of men by the end of the thread became the rude ones themselves because, while I appreciate that mistakes can be made and I absolutely accept that swallowedafly was mistaken as opposed to blatantly lying, if I were her and a few others now I would mumble a few words along the lines of 'sorry' yet they still cannot/will not apologise for causing somebody else upset for their rudeness.
Yet men are supposed to be polite to them at all times.
Well, I think that if people who accuse others of rudeness need to be polite themselves (or at least try).
Myself? Well I admit that I made a few mistakes on the thread, perhaps I did take over and I am genuinely sorry if a few people felt that I was not respecting their stories of genuine abuse and violence.
So that is it, sorry to those who have experienced threats at hands of abusive and threatening men. Being sworn at, groped, hit, and made to feel unsafe is not acceptable.
No more for me to say on this thread.
