Columbia student carrying mattress until school expels her rapist

[CountDeMoney]

Well okay then.

[merithyn]

Okay.

Basically, what happened is that due process determined that there wasn't enough evidence that a rape had happened to take action; therefore - as a matter of objective fact - a rape did not happen. If anyone thinks a rape may have happened, including the woman who alleged that she was raped, they are objectively wrong.

As I mentioned, I'm not objective on these topics, which is why I generally stay out. In this case, derspeiss specifically asked my opinion, so I gave it. I'm certainly not going to argue over some minutiae with anyone.

Jacob's post makes no sense to me, either as a response to someone else's post or as a description of the situation.

Thank you

I'm going to wait for Malthus to weigh in.

Dunno why he should.  He'll never convince those who believe that 19 out of 20 things Canadians say are lies.

This is fun.

Meri, maybe you can explain to me what you got from Jacob's post.

I don't entirely agree with Jacob, but I don't have any trouble understanding what he is trying to communicate.

I understood him to be saying that, according to many on Languish, because the University panel didn't believe the girl had been raped, no one else is allowed to believe otherwise, including the girl. It seems that several on Languish believe that the panel has created a fact by giving their opinion.

That's my interpretation of what he was saying, anyway. Does that help?

Thanks.  Do you believe that to be an accurate characterization of some posters' positions?

It's long been established that Yi and I are basically unable to communicate. Every so often, one of us attempts to break through, but it never seems to work out
