[lbo-talk] Feminism and the False Memory Syndrome

[jthorn65 at sbcglobal.net]

I have been reading all these threads about false memories and child sexual abuse. I have 
been staying out of the on-line discussion because my own personal involvement in such 
cases prevents me from posting in a manner that would be free enough of that personal 
involvement to be of much use to anyone. My emotions tend to hinder clear thinking and 
oddly (to me) the issue is too painful personally for me to want to participate in a long term 
discussion with know-it-all know-nothings like Jesse. Normally I enjoy a challenge.

That said I wish to thank Miles, Stephen, James (whom I have disagreed with on so much in 
the past) and especially Yoshie for being so eminently reasonable in a discussion that has 
generally been anything but reasonable. A person has to put up with a very high level of 
personal insults when taking the position these people have. I have no idea why this should 
be so but sadly it is. I'll second Jim Farmelant's comment that they are really the voice of 
reason in this discussion. 

Maybe I've ignored similar threads in the past but this exchange has really surprised me.
