Your past record has proven that you will debate something until your opponent gives up. Then you claim victory. Same thing going on here.

But okay, one more again then you can be the winner:

I never assumed anything. I raised a question, which is very different from assuming a negative answer. Quotes from my post: "There are allusions to things that I don't get, so I'm putting those aside" (versus saying I know the whole story) "I see substantial possibility for iatrogenic harm" (not certainty), "I'm also uneasy about the emotional relationships" (not that I condemn them unequivocally as terrible).

uh . . . "There are allusions to things that I don't get, so I'm putting those aside" (versus saying I know the whole story) . . . but then you went on to state what you do get, meaning your assumptions (without knowing the whole story as you admit).

and . . . "I see substantial possibility for iatrogenic harm" (not certainty) . . . here you have replaced "(at least)" with (not certainty). Since when is an assumption based on certainty? It is an assumption. And a clear one at that.

and . . . "I'm also uneasy about the emotional relationships" (not that I condemn them unequivocally as terrible) . . . go on, what did you say next?

Girls that age are not well-served by the emotional intensity of romantic love coming their way, especially from an adult relative.

Certain, unequivocally terrible, and condemned. Beyond assumption.

I never suggested you were doing anything other than what you thought was best. I thought there might be (versus "were") aspects to the situation that weren't so great. You might have been missing some information or losing some perspective.

Yeah right. "we all know that if those activities were known to any adults they would be regarded as very alarming" and "it is likely to start a sexual abuse investigation". You think that I would be so ignorant to dismiss such alarming, potentially abusive behavior as 'what I think is best'? No, you are clearly starting from the position that I am well intended but just need a little wisdom from Uncle Ethan.

What a terrible accusation, that you might not be perfect.

I have admitted my faults and made corrections. How about you?

Maybe you think my concerns were so far-fetched that I lacked the GC equivalent of "probable cause" for raising an issue. I still don't.

That is a problem. Your concerns were definitely far-fetched. I've wasted a lot of time proving that to you.

If G9's privates stop itching, you can tell her that even that old bastard Ethan you met online had one small positive effect in the world.

Gold star for accidentally stumbling across something useful. Very boastful of you to take credit for it. However, under your scrutiny, I should not share this knowledge with her (you know, that sexual abuse worry) so I guess we'll never know.

something personal about your arrogance and annoying righteous stubbornness
