Hi OhMari! I realize that you are the moderater and apologize for reacting rather personally to a perceived put-down by another poster.
However, you didn't exactly make me feel any better -- see the bolded above -- about newbie thoughts not being exactly appreciated! If your (collective) thoughts are truly set in stone I'm beating my head against a brick wall and should just shut up.
Domestic violence and emotional abuse issues are incredibly complex, especially when the victim is male. I just would like to encourage people to think even harder than they are at the moment and research even more.
I think that there is new information out there with Jon's latest interview. I also did some back tracking on closed threads here and realize that there were animated discussions on the DIS "way back then" that support Jon's timeline and might partly explain the Deanna in Utah issue. I read the book in 1974-way back, when only 4 channels existed, plus the underground WGN out of Chicago.
I think I've said all I want for the moment. I'm going to go very quiet here for a bit and just read others thoughts.
No hard feelings, I enjoy most of the posters here. I'm just giving myself a short time-out.
