And a whole lot of WTF.

I may be having a knee jerk reaction, but that seems like a whole lot of apologia and stupid shit I would have preferred not to read. There was nothing there that offered me a profound insight that could be used to understand that person.

If he "can't help his sexual orientation" than I cakfbskdlsjdjJdjsjsjsjfnJDJDNDJAKQFIFNAOF.

Well, he can certainly NOT ACT ON IT.

I think most of us agree that shennigans that only involve humans of consenting age is pretty much okay.  But hiding pedophilia behind "sexual orientation" is like saying "But I can only get off if it's rape", and then saying that rape is okay in that case, because, you know, "sexual orientation".

Yes, but I've been thinking about cutting them out of my feed anyhow.

But now, that's not good enough. Now I want to go buy a paper issue, improve it organically, and send it back to them.

Sales up by 1 unit.

Seriously, this is like sending hate mail to the National Inquirer.  The response SENT is "FUCK YOU GUYS".  The response RECEIVED is "add this to our numbers for when we talk to the sponsors."

Sometimes, it's better to just leave without the howling and screaming and blood on the walls thing.

Unless it's real blood on real walls.
