ORIGINAL: SailingBum I could have sworn luscious that you said a few post back. That when steel stepped in to defend someone"he handled it improperly" and when morgan does it she a "hero", WhatTheFuckOver? I have at times stepped in to help a stranger in danger however morgan did something I wouldn't have, put my baby directly in harms way. BadOne And neither did I that day, kindly do not materialise something that was not stated by me. Anyone that is familiar with Woolwich Bus Quadrant (clearly you aren't, but kindly afford someone that has a child and does take action the common sense to have given priority to their child's safety first and foremost) will know there used to be a Bus Inspector's portaoffice, and likely still is. My son was placed firstly with the Bus Inspector (which I already stated) and no where near immediate danger. The Inspector is a figure of authority and was given instructions by me to call the emergency services and told exactly where I would be. Had the assault not continued I would have returned to my son forthwith. When I was helped back to the portacabin after the assault, it was to see my son sitting happily munching a finger of kitkat. My son is now twenty five years of age, he works in his own time with inner city kids in deprived areas teaching them coaching skills, has overcome adversity insofar as having two learning disabilities and despite that acquired a degree in sports science. He is a person that people naturally respect even though he is quietly spoken and yet people listen to him. He's intervened in many a situation between in-gang youth fighting, of course I worry, immensely but one of the things I did teach him is that we as a society enable and encourage antisocial behaviour by simply not doing anything. Thank you for your concern regarding my mothering skills. ------------------- Coming back to the original topic and my apologies for hijacking the thread, that was not my intention. Bear, I understand Lady Hibs' good intentions in wanting to speak to the man concerned, those were never in doubt, sometimes we are torn when we see a person behaving repeatedly in a less than favourable way. My comments still stand though, take action when it occurs immediately and give the person no leeway that it is their first and only warning or they find themselves excluded from future events/parties unless they show willing to work with someone to establish a greater knowledge/ability in techniques. By all means use one's respected reputation within the community to help with the education of newbies regardless of their orientation - knowledge is empowerment - I would have loved having an experienced dominant or submissive take me under their wing when I started out at sixteen years of age, I didn't, I learned through many trials and even more errors. These days, with the inclusion of the internet, there is such a rich repository of information out 'there' and ultimately, we are responsible for our own safety. If we attend a club wherein the person we interact behaves poorly, have the management of the place sort it out and educate the person in protocol, if it's a private party then it's the responsibility of the host to ensure no further occurrences are repeated and how they wish to handle that is up to them, if on a one-to-one basis we have no one but ourselves to rely upon. There are jerks out there of either gender and regardless of orientation, and there have been many constructive suggestions offered with regard to how to deal with such people. Just know that if I felt someone had behaved adversely to me and in my outpouring to a friend I elaborated due to high emotion, my friend would naturally believe me and not question my version of events - the result for the offender would not be pretty for I know that despite good intention, something told to a friend rarely remains with them and yet another person is involved, and so forth is set a snowballing situation. Rarely do people react without personal bias.
