Oh come on!

Every guy you cited as an example in this article is threatening someone else's life. That's simply sensationalism. And frankly, its counter-productive to the father's rights movement.

Sensationalism is lazy reporting. Find a normal guy. Not a "perfect" man, but not one who is going to point a gun to someone's head either. They are in the vast majority. Report what they have to sacrafice to make ridiculous payments. Compare it to what they were paying before their child was taken from their lives. Discuss his emotions (I'm not interested in the emotions of a man who is willing to kill strangers). Find out what the mother is actually doing with the money. Point out how few "rights" he actually has.

If you think we should hear about the thousands who don't run and shoot, then by golly tell us about them!

You have no reasonable argument against what I've said. Taking a girlish psychological approach isn't going to help your case.

I've certainly written many articles without mentioning the physically violent side of the war against fathers. But Catalino Morales is a real person and I don't think he should be dropped off like the trash. I hope you'll read the article again and try to understand what it says.

And another thing: Don't ever suggest to me that I should take a politically biased approach to reporting on real life events.
