"I think they are the heart of this board. I believe they demonstrate the pedophile as a loving human and not a monster."

This, this, THIS. ^^^ Thank you for expressing it so simply, but... yeah. There's often a lot of links to "horrible news article, bad stuff happened!" There are posts discussing intellectual points, or hypothetical theory. There are bits and pieces of "business" like New Registration notices and "had to edit your post because" stuff from the mods. All of that helps shape this board.

But without the beautiful moments shared with LGs, this place wouldn't have the heart that it does.
