I'm just very confused by your positions.

Specifically, if you had to choose between moderating for some group of antis and for a group of fellow-GirlLovers who have grown to love you, why would you choose the former?

Anyway, the first thing I thought after reading your good-bye post was,
"If you see something is wrong, that's all the more reason to stick around, so you could try and fix it."

You've left a mark on the lives of many GCers who DO care about you.

But now, you seem to have taken a 180 on many important tenets of pedophilia, as well.
Is it any surprise then, that many of us are hurt by your words and actions, as of late?

I can only speak for myself, but I just don't want you to be hurt by your 'new friends'.

I doubt I'm alone in that either.

Why, I'd assume that the real reason Demosthenes(etc) is so against you leaving right now, is because Markaba(the real Todd) has already been hurt by them, yet you choose "them over us".

It's just like when the apostle Paul was hindered by his disciples when he determined to go to Jerusalem. They knew his trip would not go as he planned, but he would not listen and ended up in chains.

Nevertheless, I'm trying very hard to have faith in you; that you know what you're doing.

I'll only ask that you don't put any unneccessary strains on that faith.

Like it or not, I'm gonna keep you in my prayers (as I do all GCers).
