I guess "compelling" is in the eye of the beholder.  I have  explained my 
position in ever greater detail, looking closely at the relevant  pesukim, Rashi, 
Ramban and common sense, and at this point there is nothing left  for either 
of us to say without simply repeating ourselves.  Anyone who  doubts that I 
have made a strong case for the proposition that Dinah was  kidnapped and raped 
need only re-read everything I've written on the subject  over the last few 
days.  In a way it's a foolish exercise since the pasuk  itself says she was 
raped -- "vaye'anaha"  -- and all other readings are  forced and must be 
defended.  It isn't (or shouldn't be) the pshat that  needs defending.  The one who 
wants to read Chumash in a less-than-obvious  way is the one who needs to make a 
compelling case -- and that you have not  done.
