If you and Windflier wished to have a private discussion, and didn’t want others to express their opinions to you in regard to that dialogue then why did you not avail yourself of FReepmail?

I am far from naive. You and windflier were speaking on this thread. Reading through your exchange it is rather hard not to see the opinions you two share of the subject at hand.

For you to even suggest that these are prurient interests, and that people here are pursuing discussion about them as “a purient interest” that people consider “noble”, shows a severe lack of understanding, and dare I say, that attitude is more naive and offensive than anything I, or others have said.

Any person who is sexually aroused, or has lustful thoughts when reading about or discussing the issue of child rape, and incest have deep-seated problems, and need psychological help. Failing to discuss these things would block any chance for people to recognize that such feelings and behaviors are very wrong.

I am anything but naive, sir. And I resent being accused of being such. I clearly stated that these are not prurient interests and that if someone is aroused by articles of this nature that it is a sign of problems within that person.

That is not a failure to recognize that some people do have those tendencies, on the contrary, it is acknowledging the problem and properly naming it for what it is - thoughts and feelings about which should cause the person experiencing them to recognize that the behavior is not normal. The dialogue between the two of you on this thread is quite disgraceful, frankly. No matter who your comments were directed towards.

Again, if you wish to have a private conversation, and think that others commenting on what you have posted in a public forum, and on a public thread is “butting in”, then avail yourself of the FReepmail system - that’s what it’s there for... That’s pure common sense, imo.

Grow up, kid, and find something worthy to expend all that energy against. I addressed someone directly in a public forum, and you chose to answer for her. That's your right, as it is my right to tell you to butt out.

I'm not interested in engaging you on this topic, or on the question I posed to the original poster.
