You clearly did not read most of my posts with any real comprehension. I don't really defend Tonya...I say repeatedly that what she did was terrible.

I also said that her upbringing and the perception of being an uncouth red neck meant that she'd been fighting an uphill battle most of her life. So I have some empathy for her. I haven't argued that usfsa was wrong with banning her. All I've said is that a person who is raised in violence frequently resorts to violence. And so she isn't an evil Disney villain, she's a complicated person that did something very terrible a long time ago. I'm sorry that knowing that anyone has a shred of compassion for someone who grew up abused and has spent their adult life a pariah upsets you so much. [/quote]

You are entitled to your feelings, just not to made-up facts in defense of them.

And her being an uncouth redneck wasn't a perception.  That's what she is. [/quote]

I haven't made up anything, different perceptions of, as you admit above, a sport that comes down to perception.[/quote]
