But BC is not necessarily representative for the whole BL community, different board rules also attract a different kind of posters.

BINGO!!!!

I know a number of BL's in my own country and consider them to be very respectable people.

Ditto and another BINGO!!!! There is a good reason why boards with more lax rules than our own attract a different element of our community, including individuals who are not truly members of our community but are actually child or teen fetishists rather than genuine MAAs.

One point of correction, though, Sancho: all of us on this board are anti-contact, because none of us are breaking the laws regardless of how we may feel about them personally. You may be anti-choice, but I fully respect and trust you (to the point of having you visit me in person), because you have always acted rationally and showed a willingness to listen, and my respect and friendship with you further debunks those who claim that we only accept one type of thought on this board. It's how the people with various thoughts behave, not specifically what they think, that garners them respect or rejection here.
