LOL. As with that other thread, you have interesting comprehension:

This means that
you did not say (and you did not mean to imply) that rape accusations should not be taken seriously at the onset (prior to the guilty verdict).
Other people believe that rape accusations will not (or should not) be taken seriously because of the relatively rare instances that people lie. Therefore, whenever someone says "she has hurt the credibility of every future rape accuser going forward...but with women like Gibson out there it will always be doubt about these claims" (with and without the "rape is a serious charge and men who commit it should be thrown under the jail"
disclaimer***), it receives a certain response from some people.
*** Some people apply the above disclaimer to guilty verdicts but the alleged rape victim is still stigmatized and treated like crap. That is also why certain comments receive a type of response.
