What utter bullshit.  You consider 7 days and 25 responses
"shortly thereafter", not to mention the continued blaming of
Ms. Garvin and her SO after your apology, oh wait, admission?
You are a pathetic pup Darcy.

I apologize for the length of this, but Kevin's persistence
at saying its everyone else's responsibility that this affair
continues is crap.  The following are the headers of Darcy's
posts to the original and related threads.  I have only included
those related to child abuse thread and where Darcy blames
Susan, someone else or makes some lame excuse like he is saving
the net from moral turpitude.  I probably missed some.

Oh, this is rich from someone whose "sense of humor" consists of calling
people hypocrites and liars and misogynists without even so much as the
courtesy of a justification. Look in the mirror, Susie.

>This is not a flame, Darcy.

True. It's a miserable pathetic attempt to flame which fails to meet the
minimum standards. Better luck next time.

No apology there.

Thank you for that vital piece of information, Mr. Virtual S.O., maybe
next time you toss out titillating little references like this, you'll
learn to provide some CONTEXT with them so folks will know what the hell
you're talking about, hmmm???

No apology here and there were none in the following posts.

Ta da, here it is the famous apology or admission or whatever
Kevie calls it,
          ************************************
From: kevin@rotag.mi.org (Kevin Darcy)
Subject: APOLOGY

Well, in spite of the fact that this whole matter has been blown *WAY* out of
proportion, and in spite of the fact that I still remain mystified as to how
one can experience pain from the obviously-mistaken interpretation of a
complete stranger, after long consideration I have decided to apologize to
Susie Garvin's S.O. ("Don", is it?) for my causal contribution to whatever
pain he has experienced over this. Sorry. My purpose is not to _increase_
overall suffering in this world, but to _reduce_ it, and I think now that my
error in this matter had the opposite effect of what was intended. Hopefully
we can both learn from this.

                                                        - Kevin

P.S. At least you had the decency to restrict your somewhat-understandable
     backlash to alt.flame. That earns you a measure of respect in my book.
          ************************************

The following are only follow-ups in which Darcy continues
justifying why he was right in attacking Ms. Garvin and her
SO in the first place.

        A) There was no reason to be posting child abuse crap in t.a in the
           first place

        B) There was no reason to inflict the thread on talk.abortion

Susie and her S.O. are guilty on all 3 counts.

Subject: Re: A Warning From Darcy (was The world according to)

Larry, there's a big difference between discussing such matters in detached,
abstract generalities, on the one hand (as Suzanne was doing), and admitting
"I was raped" on the other. I still maintain that Don was the first to truly
hammer the issue home in talk.abortion. And I also maintain that the wording
of his post was ambiguous, and the braggy, confrontational tone was HIGHLY
unusual for a revelation so intimate and personal. I was thrown, and ended up
making a bad assumption. I've apologized. Why does this flamewar need to rage
on and on?

                                                                - Kevin
          ****************************************

Perhaps Kevie will now understand why this "flamewar" continues
to rage, but I doubt it.   He has displayed a pathological
unwillingness to acknowledge he is a player in his own follies.
