- actually, you have with your own writing proved that you don't know anything
- about the study in question, which is not concerned at all with trying to
- promote a political position in any way. this study is not trying to assess
- the prevalence of sexual assault in the population. it is studying the
- recovery process of actual victims. thus, it makes no sense to survey
- potential subjects who are known a priori not to have been victims of
- sexual assault.
-
- your info below is also incorrect. read on.

- THERE WAS NO SUCH FOLLOWUP STUDY AS YOU CLAIM!!! If you want to make
- claims to argue a point, please be prepared to back it up with citations.
- Facts, please. It may sound good, but it is patently FALSE.
-
- finally, Neil Gilbert has not written "numerous articles" on the subject of
- sexual assault. he has published ZERO articles on the subject. Facts, please.
- Let's see the citations!
-
- Michael, if you want to come off on the net as something other than a
- foaming idiot, it might help to be a little more factual. Just making up
- out of thin air whatever sounds good to you thoroughly discredits your
- integrity.
