also, jsyk, I'm not using your "tone" (i.e. being a jerk) to try to invalidate anything you are saying. so the "tone argument" thing is bullshit. I'm just using it to say that I find talking to you to be extremely unpleasant to talk to and I don't want to do it.

You can take that or leave it. If you want to talk to me, be nice. Give me a change to explain myself if I say something that you think is offensive rather than just jumping to conclusions about how I think. Try not to unleash all your RAEG on me when you don't really know much at all about the kind of person I am and how I see things. I get the feeling you and I could read totally different things into a statement spoken by someone entirely different. We just see things very differently. I'm not a rape-apologist, woman-hater, or slut-shamer. I'm just not. You are convinced that I am because of a single conversation over the internet (in which you took much of what I said in a completely different way than I meant it). You don't get to decide what I meant by what I say. You hardly know anything about me, yet are extremely judgmental.

Okay, I kind of went off on a rant there, I admit it. I just find the way you treat me to be very upsetting. So if you're going to continue along the path of "I am right, the end, your are wrong and evil and hateful because I said so," then I. do. not. want. to. talk. to. you.

tl;dr have an open mind; listen to me when I say I didn't mean something the way you took it, and respect that (and I will in turn respect you when you say the its common for people to interpret something a certain way when maybe I didn't know that); and don't lash out at the slightest provocation - or don't talk to me at all.
