First of all, using the word "anti-contact" to distance your position from those who are pro-choice is very disreputable, since all of us who agree it's necessary to obey the laws are anti-contact, regardless or whether they support the idea of choice or not.

Secondly, Sancho is not a "token" chosen at random. He was chosen because he is not self-loathing or prone to periodic emotional breakdowns that make him extremely untrustworthy. That has not been the case with too many of the other anti-choicers who have hung out here over the years. Would you suggest we should let people in the administration that acted like Leon did?

As for the BLers, there are about three or four decent ones over at BC; the rest are assholes. If you don't believe me, go over there and try to be their friend. Make sure you mention you're a GLer and anti contact. See how that goes over. Sancho, I'm quite serious. Give it a try.

I honestly suspect, Markie, that the reason you didn't get along with a lot of the BChatters is because you behaved there much the same as you did here, and the administration over there doesn't have the loyalty to you that those here do. You never seem to understand the effect that your behavior has on others, and you always see yourself as the victim when people react negatively towards you when you mouth blatantly condemnatory, insulting comments towards them.

Granted, there are many BLers who are assholes, but far from the majority, because I have successfully made friends with many of them whom I associate with at Lifeline and Newgon, and GLers are most certainly not in the majority at either of those two places.

Further, please again keep in mind that BC has more lax rules there than we do here, which will inevitably attract too many of the wrong kinds of apples over there in comparison to what we get here, or compared to any of the myriad GL boards that existed in the past with lax posting rules.

And finally, it continues to mystify me as to why you think it's somehow odd or insidious that the majority of the MAA community are pro-choice and do not have a "healthy" degree of self-loathing, rampant mistrust of others like themselves, guilt over their attractions, or the same type of blindness to history regarding intergenerational attraction and youth capabilities as the typical anti-choicer; I don't mean to be insulting here, but you have for a long time now showed a great deal of antipathy towards MAAs/MAPs who do not engage in moral overcompensation and condemnation against their own attraction base. Just as you won't find the majority of the mainstream homosexual community having that position for themselves, you won't find the majority of people in any sexual minority loathing their attraction base or thinking lowly of the people they wish to love. This does not mean that pro-choicers are not self-introspective or very concerned about ethics and the possible effects of their behavior; it simply means they do not believe they have to inculcate themselves with guilt and a self-condemnatory degree of overcompensation in order to be decent people, nor must they treat younger people they are attracted to as the equivalent of emotional china dolls.
