How many more times do you have to make unfalse accusations, Mozart ? For the last time, I have NEVER had any pornographic e-mails from Duke. It's amazing how you use the assumption to attack me at one point and then to defend yourself at another. I would call that hypocrisy. If you have a problem with any of these people, do not use me or anything you believe to be true about me, to make a point. You were wrong back then and you are wrong now.
And as for you, Beeno, grow up. Yes, I was upset and Dave knows full well why I was so upset by those things being said about me back then. I did not start the discussion about unsolicited photos ( see that, Mozart, PHOTOS, not E-MAILS ) and you all jumped in like you always do and made things up....disgusting, were they, Beeno ? Really ? Given that at no time was I ever sent any pornographic pictures by anyone, there was simply a suggestion that photos would/could be sent. I have photos....ON A ( broken ) PHONE, Mozart ( NON PORNOGRAPHIC )....that also contains the last pictures of my Grandmother before she died. If it hadn't contained those pictures of her, it would have been in the bin long ago, trust me. At no time has anyone been shown pictures on that phone, something I was also accused of doing. As I said at the time, Dave would not know Duke if he fell over him in the street....naked or otherwise.
I would be offended if anyone wanted to send me pictures like that and I would tell them so. Duke was not to know that I had been raped in the recent past, which is why I was so very uncomfortable at the mere suggestion of that sort of thing, and he also was not to know that he used a term, when I declined to participate in that sort of thing, that my rapist had used againts me. I'm afraid I suffered rather a reaction to all that, it brought a lot of horrible memories back for me, again, something Duke had no knowledge of and is therefore, blameless of any malicious intent. That is why Dave reacted the way he did and, whilst I am grateful that he was so angry on my behalf, he also knows that I wish he hadn't been so vociferous as it really made matters a lot worse, in my opinion. But, he only did it with the best of intentions and I am grateful to him for that. He had my best interests at heart, as he always does ( except for when we argue about Rugby :) ) and I hope he won't mind me saying what I have just said.
I am used to you all making accusations about me that are untrue and I have not written any of this lightly, I find even thinking about certain events very painful indeed. But I will say again, Duke did not ever send me any pornographic emails or photos of any kind. That is the honest truth. And, whatever he did, was in no way malicious. I have no issues with Duke and hope he has none with me either.
You have all made an embarrassing and, painful for me at least, situation a great deal worse and I am asking you all to please stop this. It is like picking at a scab and not letting it heal.
If some of you have issues with the other site, so be it. Let them get on with things and they will, hopefully, let you all get on with things here. I just ask you to leave me out of it. I'm sure there are people here who are heartily sick of the whole situation and just want to talk Rugby in peace.
Moderators, I am sorry that I had to write all this in public. Please understand why I did so. Thank you.
