General Discussion

My whole point about the other post is mute, because it was not you that issued the response I credited to you. I was curious about the cognitive dissonance I found in your posts, but regrettably not curious enough to get who posted what straight. I think I confused your reply in #21 with someone else in #5. While I think it is good personal advice to advise the child to leave instagram, I also don’t believe it is a real solution or anything like not going to a certain neighborhood or biker bar. The writer stated that they aren’t safe from the behavior offline either. “Victim blaming” might be a little strong, but “ If your phone cut your hand each time you picked it up, you'd return it. You'd change phones” at least has the implication that she is either to blind or naive to have thought of this solution herself. It also assumes there are adequate alternatives socially. As a parent and a person who hates social media, I agree with your solution as a personal one. I disagree with it as support for other’s dismissive responses to the article.
Probably, most of all, because I mostly agree with with you about things, I apologize again for being mischaracterizing some of your responses. Thank you for engaging me.
