Obviously I have spent half a dozen years of my life in close friendship to a victim of homosexual rape. I suggest you do not speak of that whereof you know nothing. And I still tell you that killing is worse. I hope you never lose a friend, let alone find out as I have. And one last word: emotional blackmail never works and does not make you any more lovable either.
You did not know anything about my life and made an assumption that was almost grotesquely wrong. I know everything anyone can know about rape without having actually suffered it; and I know about as much as one can about the use of violence in personal relationships. And I regard your attempt to "pull rank" on me about rape as nothing short of moral blackmail. Now will you please stop this nonsense? I did not mean to injure your feelings, and I am sorry if I did, but I suggest that a fondness for homosexual pornography is a poor position to try to assert one's moral superiority over anyone.
That's your opinion. As for the suffering of a rape victim, you have nothing to teach me. I spent half a dozen years under one roof with a person who had been raped as a child. I saw what it did to a life. But murder is a worse crime than rape, and anyone who says otherwise is inviting rapists to murder their victims.

This whole thing is a misunderstanding. That's fine with me.
