Sexting it up : Comments

By Nina Funnell, published 7/4/2009

Teenagers may have private lives but like it or not we are probably going to be hearing, and seeing, more about them.

Pynchme, you make a lot of assumptions. When I first discovered Angry Harry I did not particularly like his site. Both Angry Harry and Glenn Sacks are sometimes interesting because they provide a different perspective.

Like Ginx I can be bothered with every nuance.

I agree with you that lynching is a barbaric practise, and the American culture can be barbaric.

I am fully ware of women being lynched, burned at the stake, I was surprised to find out that it was not women who were burned, but men as well.

Fract, I did wonder where Roscop was going with his posts and I did find them a little over the top, but in the end he did managed to explain himself a little bit I think.

Fract like Pynchme, you assume too much. There is limited space and at present limited time. Plus I have other things on my mind at present.

Reading the work of Pscyhologist Toby Green, I had an Ah-ha moment when she wrote about how some people hold onto their opinions so tightly, that they feel that if someone does not agree with their opinion, that that person does not like them or dissaproves of them.

Its a bit like, one person liking rugby and the other aussie rules, it is still possible for them to like each other as people, but not their preference in football.

It would appear that you are trying to apply a bit of female manipulation and guilt tripping.

Apart from what Roscop writes here, I do not know what he really beleives or disbeleives as we have not had good chin wag over a beer.

“Nina sustained severe injuries and psychological trauma as a result of the assault though she has since made a full recovery. She now uses her experience as a platform to speak out publicly against all forms of violence against women.”

http://www.steptothefuture.com/forum.php?j=f&fid=124&y=2009&pid=1464&tid=6&sid=147

Ms Funnell spoke of the few people who knew about the attack on her. The people who she mentioned did not included professions who treat physical injuries.

Nina Funnell says women who fight back when being assaulted in 70% of cases will get away relatively unharmed. Ms Funnell tells the public she hardly has the strength to open a vegemite jar yet she fought off a “very solid” attacker after she had spooked him by telling him to f*#!*off.

Not only does Ms Funnell not want anyone in this forum knowing anything about the extent of her severe injuries, she would want the defence knowing anything about those severe injuries also, should her case get to trial:

“RICHARD LINDELL: Nina Funnell was sexually assaulted on her way home from university two years ago. The perpetrator has never been caught.

Like many victims, she turned to counselling to help her recover, in sessions she thought were private.

NINA FUNNELL: When somebody sexually assaults you, it is a complete violation of your body, and your person, and your psyche; and to think now that my privacy on top of that could also be violated now and that the confidentiality pact that I had with my counsellor could be violated... You know, it makes me sick. It makes me just distraught to think about it.

RICHARD LINDELL: So distraught, in fact, she says it might make her withdraw from any future legal process.

NINA FUNNELL: The fact that my private records, that were given during counselling, could also be used against me, it makes me think more than twice about whether or not I would actually want to go through that process.

RICHARD LINDELL: Defence lawyers can subpoena records from doctors, counsellors, schools and hospitals - often without the victims' knowledge.”

fractelle:"You even tried to argue that male rape victims have a more difficult time of rape than females."

Oh, this should be good - do provide a quote, won't you dear, because, you see I'm calling you a liar. Not only have I never done so, I've never addressed the issue of male vs female rape victims at all, other than to say "I have the greatest of sympathy for those of either gender who have been genuinely raped" in response to Romany on 18/5.

You'd really do better to read the thread, dear. Correcting the products of your febrile imagination really isn't my job, you know.

Fractelle:"I am also waiting for a response from you,"

LOL.

There seems to be a general point of view from the worm factory that NF's view on her attack should be viewed from a different perspective.etc.,

It is only crap who is calling her a liar.....And perhaps his attendant blow-fly.

But crap IS obsessive about his view that she is lying, and he has gone to extraordinary lengths to 'prove' it.

For the most part the basis of a discussion forum is to agree or disagree-in varying degrees. Writers are subjected to this;-posters too.

I am not surprised that this creature;-crap, was recommended for suspension-unsuccessfully..and predictably. However, It shows a new low on OLO.

Contributing writers has been taken to task strongly on many occasions. One wrote about it. But none have sustained a full on SECOND assault in this case,- in being called a liar.

crap is of course a spineless coward, so he avoids using the word, but spells it out graphically.

It does not bode well, and has not for a writer that I am familiar with. No further articles from that source.

You crap have required evidence of bruises/scratches etc., you don't even have the brain to know of the adrenalin during assault, and the emotional collapse afterward when the danger has past.

You've taken such circumstance and twisted it into suspect behaviour.
You have persistently asked this young woman to lay all the facts bare at your altar of judgment.

Cont'd-hopefully today.

So;-I'm asking-who's asking?

Tell us who you are?
Tell us why you feel this way?
Tell us what motivates you to attack NF in this manner?
Tell us why you joined this thread after 16 pages?
Tell us why you put up links to pictures totally unrelated to this thread on page 22?
Tell us why,-with such strong feelings on such issues,-you chose not to put your picture links on the thread directly related to them?

Before you go any further in discussing the experience of NF, and what she has allegedly done wrong:-

Tell us WHY?

You have continually pressed for NF to 'come clean'.

Prove to us that you are NOT a bullying coward, and put up a thread answering some queries about you!

(And DON'T cop out with the limp-wristed excuse that YOU did not 'profess' to being attacked.....; just have the spine to put up a thread about where you are coming from-and nothing else).

I look forward to it. I really do.

Because if you DON'T answer questions put to YOU, and come up with a waffling weak excuse for not answering them,.......YOU know what you are, as we do
