I've been thinking of giving up the TWoP boards. The Xander hate and Spike apologies are just getting to be too much.

Hello, unrepentant murderer? Why think that he wouldn't 'stoop' to rape?

I'd rather be raped than murdered. You have a chance to recover from a rape.

*hugs*

I guess I was too much of a 'where there's life, there's hope' girl to even think about the choice that way.

I can see why you would. But. I wouldn't.

The problem is not that we disagree. The problem is not even that you're making an opinion based on something you can't begin to understand the repercussions of, while I know exactly how you feel. My problems is that you knew what happened to me and you didn't and still don't as far as I can see understand how badly what you said here hurts me. I'm exerting the only power I have in a completely powerless situation by choosing to no longer read this because of the amount of pain it has caused me. I will not see a rape icon everytime I look at my friends page, and I hope to never read something from a friend that hurts me as much as this did.

*sigh*

I am sorry that I hurt you. And I'm sorry that you're choosing to unfriend me.

But those are my feelings and this is my journal. And I have as much right to express them as you do your feelings, which have hurt me on occasion.

I do still love you and I will still read your journal if it stays public.

Maybe all I wanted was for you to think about the power that your words have. I would never have said anything if I hadn't felt attacked.

I'm sorry that you feel like I attacked you. All I can say is that I didn't intentionally hurt you and I never would.
