How interesting indeed to read Sara Scott or Nick Bryant as they write so candidly about their respective entres into the world of RA/MC survivors. Funny. Both note openly their deep initial incredulity and disbelief and relay how they came to believe and respect survivors. What a world of difference from RI and all these folks who've mustered up the bluster to speak about the moral importance of "assess[ing]" real survivors (as if that were possible). In my month and a half or so away from here I acknowledged to myself that RI really is fundamentally not a friendly place for survivors. And fuck you if you don't agree. Because I am a survivor and that is my experience. Seeing sw post what she did and having it met with a sort of judicial request for clarification and a call-out that her citation of Kissinger is really so remarkable is case in point, for me. So with that said 'cuda will surely retort with some sort of attack or another. And let him. I prolly won't respond. Cuz I am tired of RI not standing up to the model set by people like Scott or Bryant or the Noblitts.
I'll probably run away now and hide a bit. But before I go suffice it to say -- Jeff's blog was one of the first places on the whole damn web to grapple with RA/MC in real-time, divorced from David Icke style bullshit. What has happened that so many survivors have been either scared off or faced here with assault masquerading as skepticism? Just think that over in your own head. Because the follow up here is likely to include that triumvirate coterie of three particular regulars who like to smash survivors (rather subtly I might add) all the while masquerading as wonderful libertines. You can imagine, as well as I, what the response to this post will be. Til another day and flame away. Ciao., LBO.
Think about that for a moment, and you may see what a common response it is to information that transgresses our base-beliefs. Sometimes, the consequences of admitting certain realities are thought to be so grave we would rather believe a loved one a lunatic or a liar for testifying to them.
