Personally, when I share my thoughts and opinions about things my intent has always been that perhaps my effort might be helpful to someone that is struggling like I have where what I have learned can somehow benefit someone else to ease their suffering.
While someone may take something I have said and twist it in a way that doesn't reflect what I meant than so be it, because there can also be times when someone might take what I say and add to it in a way that can actually provide significant benefits to others that can produce "healing" and gaining in a positive way which is all I really want from whatever way I try to share thoughts that might be fruitful.

Passivity and powerlessness is not something I ascribe to.
These things happen and we can do nothing. Or we can legally and nonviolenty take action to fight back. Even voicing an opinion is better than nothing.
A lot of people here have histories of feeling powerless, maybe even learned helplessness. I am always happy to see people overcome this and start by standing up for themselves.
Some people who were violated by this blogger didn’t even want to go through the trouble of asking him politely to not quote them. That makes me terribly sad for them.
