"...since so many people can't be bothered to click on the link in Mes's post"
Sorry for the inconvenience, Diss, but I don't click any links on any posts here.
"This ground-breaking book ... by careful presentation of research data ... Sarah D. Goode provides ... She looks at ..." etc.
That doesn't sound to me like she wrote the description, therefore the bias of the second writer may obscure the actual content of the book. For example,
"She looks at how the Internet has acted as an enabler ... an explosion of child pornography ... what one needs to know and do to ensure children are kept safe ..."
Are these things all what she said in the book, and the way she said it, or are they the interpretations of someone else trying to summarize the book in three paragraphs intended to sell the book to potential buyers (the vast majority of whom are antis)?
"she explores themes including self-identity, the place of fantasy and the forms of support available to paedophiles. Her research highlights the scale of debate within the 'online paedophile community' about issues such as the morality of sexual contact with children and encouragement to maintain a law-abiding lifestyle."
Unlike other commenters here, I did fill out the questionaire, even responding to many of her follow-up questions and discussing some issues with her in depth, and I find the quote above to be more typical of "treating our ideology with respect by giving a NEUTRAL attitude towards it" that she showed to me during those discussions. Now, she may have fooled me completely, and her book may be every bit as bad as the description makes it sound ("a valuable discussion on how adult sexual contact harms children" bleaaargh), but based on my experiences directly with her, I'll have to reserve judgement until I have more than three paragraphs written by someone else to use as evidence against her.
