I am going to say something very different from the rest of the folks because they are wrong.

Do I think you're over-reacting? Yes. And that's bad.

Now before you tune out, let me explain what I mean. tell you what it is really like because I'm an expert.

Personally, I cannot handle victim blaming any longer. The crap he spewed in comments to you makes me rage. This is my cue to stop reading that comment thread, lest I get truly and honestly upset by stupid internet garbage.

What the fuck is wrong with people.

OH GOD I MISSED THE TEACHING CLASSES PART.

I think I am going to go throw up now.

Not literally. But in my soul.

Reading this post (without checking the source) I was thinking "gosh, this sounds like the kind of mind games I'd expect from this one guy..."

And hey, I was right! Okay, the spurious poly counselor creds narrowed the field... but only a little!

Gods, talk about glass houses.

Seriously. Anyone who has to tout their credentials like a shield against criticism proves how much not an expert they are.

What the hell does "irregardless" men?

If you're serious and this wasn't sarcastic.... Because I looked this up once to prove a point!...

Irregardless was popularized as being legit by a 1930s radio host who liked to say it. He meant "regardless" but other ir- words were also popular among radio show hosts, so irregardless fit in with the vernacular of the time.

If you already knew this and I'm offering up common knowledge, I am sorry.... It's just one of those "Hey! I know that answer! -fervently triple checks for sarcasm-" So if I am fail here... again sorry.

What is this impact training crap? I go to a class, and now, if I'm sexually assaulted, it is magically my fault? AND THAT'S EMPOWERING?

What the hell!!!

I'm pretty sure that if the people who offer the classes he's speaking of saw him stating that, they'd be horrified. It's a guess, I'm not associated with them directly and haven't taken the class, but...

If he hadn't deleted his comments, I would finally comment at that point.

Trying to take power and feel better and more secure that you will not be a victim by making it a victim's fault. So common. So rage inducing.

Also, I am surprised that no one linked him to Derailing For Dummies.
