Room for Hamlet and Rand al'Thor

@Hamlet I have no desire to enter the discussion because everything I'd want to say has been said, but I think you did the right thing by posting a meta answer. Even if people disagree, or maybe even in those few cases where you absolutely screwed up (I'm not saying this was one), the best thing to do is to always explain your actions. I can't count how many times that transparency has turned out well for me as a mod and the site as a whole.

@Hamlet Then post that as an answer, rather than editing it into the question.

@Hamlet Done. Hopefully that's an end to it.

I would like to appologise. I don't think I handled the situation as well as I should

Since this is a question about sexual assault, I feel that it's my responsibility as a moderator to focus the question about the academic debate, instead of having a question where any answer would have to deconstruct the assumptions about sexual assault that are made in the question
