Todd, I have respected you more than you know, but your recent words and actions have made me lose a good deal of faith in you. Reading your "withdraw from GC" post, I was very tempted to make a "Birth of an Anti" post, but did not do so as it did not feel like it would mean anything after everyone else had gotten their say. I'm afraid, though, that now I must voice that concern.

Your recent loss of self and jumping in bed with anti mentality makes it no surprise to me that the rapists would invite you to be moderator, for now you are their new Brian Kastel. I found your attitude recently to be questionable at best, insane at worse, but this latest post tops the scales on unacceptable.

Concerning the name and other issues, I would point out that you are clumping together a semantics issue with real issues. I realize that with your new found life of living the high and dry with the praise of the antis you want to bash your brethren at every turn, but get real. Even your reasoning behind promoting their name is unforgivably anti-centric. Now you are speaking exactly like one of them, condemning us all for perceived actions that most likely don’t exist.

”And since sexual contact with children, whether you support it or not, IS still a crime, the name is not inappropriate.” How can you even make this statement when their expressed intent of CAT is to discuss ”the effects of paedophilia”? You are jumping in bed with the enemy when you make that statement, which directly implies that paedophilia is automatically inclusive of acting and breaking laws.

We all know that the ban was lifted, though we all know that they are going to do naught but spam their board with claims that we are all molesters or molesters looking for victims. Then again, this seems to be your current attitude, so I’m not surprised to see you making buddy-buddy with them.

”They really are reaching out to you all here.” I’ve seen no actual proof of this. ”You should be grateful for that.” I should be grateful for them pretending to give me the respect that I deserve and they have denied me without knowing me from day one? No, they should be grateful that their new turncoat has turned into their lapdog and they now have TWO Brian Kastels with which to denounce us. ”We DO have some common goals” … which they will forever use against us. I’m sorry, did you miss the part where they felt that those common goals were grounds for our StC donation to be rejected?

”If you genuinely care about helping children, set aside your differences and let's work on the areas where we can make a difference together.” Well boy howdy, lookie here; we tell them that very same thing so here comes Todd the newly born again Anti to throw it back on us, as if it’s going to hold more water coming from a paed who has turned on his own people. Think long and hard before you act, Todd, for you are held accountable for only your own actions. You acted, and now I hold you to what those actions do.

”Please take advantage of this opportunity. Let's work toward understanding one another and doing what we can to help children who need help. As I said, there are a number of issues we can work together on: fighting physical and emotional child abuse, fighting rape and incest, educating the public about issues like breast ironing and genital mutilation and doing what we can to fight these practices. Let's not send the world the message that peds are unreasonable and uncompromising--it does not help us in any way to do that.”

Do you know what I hear when I read these words, Todd? I hear a fallen angel crying from Hell to his brethren in Heaven, “Can’t we all get along and work this out together?” You turned your back on us and denounced us, Todd. You crossed the line and acted against your own family, and now you ask us to follow you as if nothing ever happened?

I know exactly why they asked you to join, I know exactly why you will accept, and I know why you implore us to follow your example. You no longer speak for me, you in no way represent me any longer, and in this position which they seek to put you, I have no faith or trust in you. They might as well put Brian in as a moderator, for to me, right now, there is little difference. In the end, it is nothing more than a paedophile turned anti and pretending to represent our interests.

No, with this news I am even more adamant about not joining this board created by rapists. As I said before, I do not deal with terrorists, I will not work with rapists, and I refuse to follow the latest turncoat whipping boy of the hate crime regime into the ovens. Thanks but no thanks.
