<p dir="ltr">Paul Wayper and Jessica Smith. </p>
<p dir="ltr">David has self-reported his experience of the initial responses he received from the members of this list as contributing to a negative state of mental health. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This makes it uncomfortable and difficult to address his contributory behaviour. The effect is to straight jacket replies. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Subsequently the responses from most people have focused on being compassionate and supportive towards David. Each of those persons deserve recognition for their thoughtfulness. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I think you've both done equally well, within the limitations of a public e-mail list, to respectfully ensure the initiating issue is not subsumed and exculpated and to identify that such claims in and of themselves contribute to similar experiences for women and young females who are exposed to them. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards, <br>
Patrick<br><br><br><br></p>
