"Which is (putting on my flame-proof suit) a cruel trick to play on anyone, straight OR gay."

I'll take the flames with you..... :^)

OTOH, if the latest Drudge account turns out to have some truth and Edmund was just toying with Foley, but Foley did actually write the IMs, then I have zero sympathy for Foley who was just trying to score some 18 Y.O. gay butt..... OTOH, I'd still say that's a cruel thing to do to anyone, even someone you despise......

Regardless..Foley was DUMB to have fallen for it....irresponsible and undisciplined. I fault him for that.

But the idea of some (conservative) kid baiting him that way...is just infuriating.

No one here does, I hope. He is a deviant of the most disgusting sort. But just think what kind of a person this Edmund must be, which is an entirely different issue. What a sleazy fellow he is. He may have done this for his and others amusement and he may have saved the IMs to blackmail Foley when it became convenient, or for some other nefarious purpose. A total creep, just a different kind than Foley.
