      @ottawasuntonys why use the word tryst instead of rape?

      .@Fohnicus Which isn't remotely a defence — in some ways it's even more loathsome — but it ain't rape either. (2/n)

      @bruce_arthur I don't know. I'm sensing a lot of sympathy for the victim and a lot of disgust for the perp. Mission accomplished.

          @jengerson @ottawasuntonys Ah yes, the "average everyday sense" of a 13-year-old and a 30-year-old. Does @ottawasuncom have a public editor?

          @ottawasuntonys …it reads as if you’re saying it wasn’t rape because she wrote him love letters, which I don’t think is what you mean.

        @ottawasuntonys @bruce_arthur no I think the disgust is for your media for minimizing the nature of the crime by using puffy words.
