You know you’re on to something and you’re running with it, which is good; but remember you took issue with me for being too crude to effectively get my point across in my postings when arguing that there’s nothing wrong with eating meat.

I also take issue with your choice of using the term "perv" to mean us, as it is pretty much the inverse of what BLueRibbon suggested. Rather than slinging mud on our own name, you simply choose to rename yourself something that is already soiled. It makes me cringe every time that I see you do it, but I do hold back on complaining about it.

Incidentally, I don't do things without backing it up, and the only person who seems to have had their gag reflex triggered was Ella, who wasn't even the target of my words. The one that I made the post to was actually quite admirably mature and capable in both understanding and responding to it, and they have earned a bit more respect from me on that point than many on our side have (especially of late).

I do, of course, agree with you on the issue of hysteria. While Payned is correct that children do need to be protected, I disagree that they need to be protected greatly more so than anyone else. This mystification of children and insistance upon their being naive and easily abused creates the problems in the first place. Children don't need to be treated like property, favorite pets, or little immitation pseudo-people that aren't fully functional. It's insulting to children and it's insulting to one's own intelligence to do so.
