But then you are just being an a*sshole again, and again, ad nauseam.
So troll away Bucky.

I actually don't think he is dude. I honestly think he doesn't get it.
Look at the idiotic "do tell" fiasco. I mean seriously, everyone else knew exactly what I was talking about. Only a moron wouldn't.
I'm really glad that these women have come forward. I knew all along that this man was a predator and this only solidifies my position.
yes for sure it's a survival skill
we process trauma when we feel safe enough to do so, sometimes that is never, other times it is when we simply are full and can take no more
triggers are peculiar things as you said simply viewing a burka and it triggers a flood
I watched an interesting documentary a few years back on survival and the capability of the human mind and body to compartmentalize a situation, shut it down and just survive. Interestingly it doesn't always work for every one. They used extremes of course to illustrate the research. One was an individual who had fallen out of a window onto a spiked fence. They landed upside down with the spikes completely down their body. A passerby was smart enough to grab them and hold them in place until help arrived. It happened to be at the correct precise moment in the fall, if they had descended further the spikes would have pierced vital organs.
If they had moved, they would have died. Buddy said he had zero pain until they removed him. They explained how the brain had blocked the pain until he was safe. Apparently that can happen with bullets in the body too. The brain will freeze us, or push us to run depending upon how it has processed what the best reaction is for survival.
Psychologically we function the same way, if we are lucky.
Nor would I.
Agreed
if the CBC believed that a crime had occurred then the proper course of action would be to report it to the police and I believe everybody has the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. I understand some people believe the choice was between doing nothing and firing him. I disagree given the information I've seen so far but he'll, people love a good witch hunt.
No one at CBC stated he was fired for criminal actions. He was fired as he damages the CBC brand. Entirely legal.
Some very stupid people have made it absolutely clear, that they don't grasp that.
okay fair enough
but as you said, we are only speculating...thus CBC may have all sorts of reasons for cutting him loose that are completely unrelated to any information that we have at this time
Yes. Yes we did.
I read in a newspaper article, which I can't find, describing the timeline of events and CBC made the decision after seeing the videos Ghomeshi presented as proof of innocence. Globe and Mail I think.
Possibly...or possibly not. Time will tell. I think what separates me and RCS from some others is that we believe in due process. On the surface anyway, there are some questions as to whether this occurred. I think it's highly unlikely that "damaging the CBC brand" is written into the workers contract at the CBC.
agreed, so far that would appear to be the case
also keep in mind, that may well have merely been the last straw, he has a successful show, that equals dollars generated which means a greater level of tolerance for what may be viewed as personal peculiarities, but even that has a limit
