Alice2,

Your voice has changed over the years.
Unexpected.


I do have a question for you: how does it feel to be judge, jury, and executioner? This situation is remarkably similar to one at nearly the exact same time last year.
Just with my friends at the stake rather than yours.

You’ve lost me. Could you elaborate as to what you’re getting at by saying this? I was out of commission around this time last year.
Are you trying to imply that I’m attacking your friends somehow?
Let me remind you that it was initially Fred that sparked this dialogue, and Kermit soon followed.
I offered explanations to them out of courtesy. I didn’t have to. Glad that I did, however.

Now, if you followed up the question with ‘Just with myself at the stake rather than your friends.’, it would make a bit more sense.
Because, yes, I am judging you to an extent. But going so far as to say I’m being jury and executioner as well? That’s a stretch. I’m not administering any form of punishment.


If you are in need of personal development, and I’ve seen you speak much of my need of the same, I’d take a good, hard look at that symmetry. 

We could all stand to improve in some way, couldn’t we? Never tried to imply that I was perfect; neither should you.


As far as responsibility is concerned, I still maintain that you share partial responsibility in the doxing incident. You once hinted that I was ‘victim blaming’ by holding such a belief.
As did Fred, as did Kermit. What I appreciate about Kermit is that he was willing/able to elaborate as to why that belief is so unacceptable. Go beyond mere virtue-signaling.
In doing so, he brought up the second sentence on the Wikipedia page on Victim Blaming. ‘The study of victimology seeks to mitigate the perception of victims as responsible.’
When I read this, I was absolutely floored. If it wasn’t obvious by now, I’m a stickler for responsibility, and to make the mere discussion of a victim’s responsibility a taboo subject? Ridiculous.

So, I conducted a bit of an investigation of my own. As suspected, liberal ideology has corrupted even the field of criminology and victimology.
Have you ever heard of stereotype threat? Microaggressions? Nonsense like that? Just a few examples of why psychology and the social sciences in general are in such a sorry state. Examples of corruption.
And these aren’t fringe ideas of mine either; I did a little literature search and came up with quite a few papers that echoed the same sentiment from experts in those very fields.
But we’re focusing on victimology. In particular, I came across two papers pertaining to the field and the skew towards liberal values. I could send them to you, if you’d like.

I mean, even the fundamental attribution error that Kermit tried to pass off as so rock-solid, as it turns out, isn’t so rock-solid.
Maybe that isn’t entirely his fault. Much like how it isn’t entirely your fault that you think I’m unscrupulous because I maintain that victims share partial responsibility.
You’re both well-read in your respective fields of study. Fields of study that just so happen to be, at the present moment, dogmatically skewed left.
So I invite you to think a little more critically about the things you’ve come to accept as ‘fact’, particularly when it comes to things such as morality and psychology. More open towards opposition too.

Then, without that little ‘victim blaming’ hang-up holding us back, I have a question for you, Alice2.
In your estimation, what amount of responsibility do you bear in this doxing incident?
It’s okay to claim that you hold no responsibility in it. I’d hope you could make a good case for it.
Another question: given how you often deal with vulnerable populations, what do you consider to be responsible, appropriate behavior?

Take your time to mull it over; there really is no hurry.

P.S. Feel better.
