"because she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition".

MtheGM, your refusal to engage rationally appears to be fairly consistent throughout this thread.

But at least you are aware of it.


Lizzie,


"Do you assume that *all* people who meet via the internet meet purely for sex and nothing else?"

No I don't - YOU were suggesting that women who invite a man in for a coffee, or accept an invitation for a coffee are somehow asking to be raped and that a man would be within his rights to be offended if a woman refused him sex after issuing or accepting such an invitation.


Regardless fo this, while I would encourage my daughter to make friends online, I would not encourage her to go anywhere with them that was not very public and well lit so she could get to know then face to face over time.

I would be very concerned if she went back to his room for coffee the first time they met.

I have only ever given my personal details out online once and that was just so a CD could be delivered.

I have since moved house and that person does not know my new address.

But I would meet someone in a cafe or some other public place if I thought they were interesting.


When people post online, they have time to consider how their posts read and have time to edit themselves to appear as nice as possible.

It is much easier to con someone online than face to face.

However, I would still place ALL of the blame on the rapist if that's what the man turned out to be in real life.



DonT,

I am curiious to know what happened in the incident of which you speak.

If you would rather tell me by PM or not at all then I understand.
