A desire to understand why you have taken the stance that you have where to me it is clear as spring water that Scorp was in the wrong. That he deserved what he got, and that he is lucky she does not file a common assault against him, or a harassment charge at work.

My take on it was simply that without having experienced this kind of altercation or the fight or flight response associated with that kind of distress it would make sense that you and I are at odds where we are usually in agreement.



I think it is a matter of perspective. While yours is focused on the natural cause and effect of what occurred between Kim and this Scorp, mine was focused on 1) the message your statement implied (on a larger scale not just Kim's situation) and 2) how she could have reacted without putting herself in a situation where she is still "looking over her shoulder" due to retaliation because of an impulsive (vs automatic) reaction.

Fight or flight refers to an automatic reaction to fear/threat. It is a reaction we actually can not control and kicks in without any thought involved---no frontal lobe cortext influence. This was not the case here. Not based on what she wrote initially. This was confirmed as soon as she stated intent, so the idea of it being a reaction to fear went out the window. Again, this was only based on what she wrote at the time of my post.

My response was not suggesting that he wasn't wrong or inappropriate for his behaviour, simply that a shift in power has occurred to his advantage because Kim allowed her emotions to get the better of her. She played into his hands. Sure maybe she got the satisfaction of bruising his ego, but he now has the satisfaction of having something over her.

I don't know any where a person can legally justify breaking someone's nose because the other person was eavesdropping on their conversation or because the person was frustrated and needed privacy. If he was a real threat prior to this point, the question will always be asked "what did you do to get him to stop?" So now she's on the defensive when he should be. Did he deserve it (that matter of debate for a few apparently). Can she justify it. Emotionally sure. Legally she can not. So who still has the upper hand? He was and is still an irritant. To outsmart a person like that, with as little stress as possible

^^^you have to think a few step ahead of them.

I learned this a very long time ago. The best way to outsmart someone that has the ability to f*ck with you (and their behaviour indicates they will continue to do just that) is to think many steps ahead. Long term. Don't react to them on impulse. To be clear, I am not referring to threat or self perservation. When you react out of pure emotion you run the risk of making mistakes, putting yourself at a disadvantage.

For those of you out there who don't know what a Gorbasm is, it's the obscene obsession with
Mikhail Gorbachev. Remember him? Quite popular. Not unlike Vlad Put, today.

Kim, when you state that it was more like a stupid idea in a fit of impatience, it sounds
to me like it was premeditated.

Premeditated Nasal Hemorrhaging has been shown to lead to a bloody nose, but had his blood
been very thin, he might have bled to death. And you would be facing trial.
Fortunately, for you, his nose clotted. No doubt it would have been stuffy.

Kim, although I am not a Scorpio Male I can say that when my Son got smoked by his Cousin, he was actually quite impressed. Just a different way of thinking about it. Maybe stalker scorp will be impressed that you gave him a bloody nose and not feel the need to initiate stinger operation #20 or whatever number he is currently at right now. Lol



lights up.... takes a hit. Exhales.

It did answer the only question you've asked me relevant to what I've stated.

All of those in need of visuals, remember Adrienne Saunders in Deceived.




A stalker lurks at Adrienne's loft. He comes in to Adrienne's bed while she is asleep and caresses her. He watches Mary, who is spooked by the man in her room at night. One day, as the housekeeper is finishing up her chores and leaving, she surprises the stalker who attacks her, leaving her almost dead in the bathroom and ransacking the apartment.

At work, Adrienne gets an urgent message from Mrs. Sullivan, and she rushes out to her apartment. When she gets there, the door is open, and Mrs. Sullivan is nowhere to be found. As Adrienne looks for her in the apartment, Jack appears. Adrienne slaps him and rages at his cruelty. Jack calms her down and tries to explain. He says that when Jack died, he was completely distraught and that he just sort of fell into his identity during the mourning process. He reveals that a man named Dan Sherman had discovered Jack's false identity and blackmailed him. Jack faked his death in order to escape, knowing that he would have to give up his life with Adrienne and Mary. He tells her that Sherman is insistent on having an Egyptian necklace which is in their apartment, and he asks Adrienne to look for it. As she leaves the apartment, Jack watches her from the window. Behind him, the body of his dead mother lies on the bed with a plastic bag over her head.

Then just a small excerpt from the Handbook for Police on how to handle harassment...

A Handbook for Police and Crown Prosecutors on Criminal Harassment
[ Previous Page |
Table of Contents |
Next Page ]

PART 2: Guidelines For Police: Investigating Criminal Harassment

The investigation of criminal harassment cases involves basic case development as well as the use of crime detection strategies. It may differ somewhat from investigation of other violent offences in that criminal harassment often involves conduct that, in isolation, appears innocent and harmless. As criminal harassment is often a progressive crime that wears down its victims over time, early, effective intervention can go a long way toward preventing more serious psychological harm and escalation of the harassment into violence or homicide. The objective of a police investigation in these cases is two-fold: to stop the harassment, as well as any other acts of violence, at an early stage; and to collect evidence to present a compelling case for prosecution. Since criminal harassment is a crime that may include a pattern of behaviour carried out against the victim over an extended period, an investigation can be time consuming and may involve numerous police reports.

In that story, the "stalker" is actually the "stalked".
To use that as a metaphore, suggests that you, Kim, are the stalker and not the stalked.

You know.... Jodi Arias is a Cancer.


Did you kill the Scorp, Kim?

now you're just making up stuff....

Jodi is, yes. But my chart mirrors that of a different notorious killer.

Ahhhhhhhh.
Now we're getting somewhere.
And who might that killer be that you identify with?

The original point I made referred to Kim and Scorp's history, that he took it a 'tad' too far, and that she was trying to remove herself from a situation that she did not want. I am pretty literal at times and the above posts will give you the reasons why I feel the way I do.

Just to be sure, I did not post this information to be a B**ch, I posted the above information because the topic as a whole is one I have had experience with more than I care to elaborate on, and one that I am very passionate about. It is important in this type of conversation that whatever I put on the table is accurate.

That is not to say that this conversation should be held in a thread about 'kryptonite' as I feel it is worthy of it's own thread. However, for the purposes of the way this thread/conversation went, I have done due diligence as I see it.

FW has much more information about the situation that I told her in private.
