Re: 'Tis a sad day, indeed.

know exactly why they asked you to join, I know exactly why you will accept, and I know why you implore us to follow your example. You no longer speak for me, you in no way represent me any longer, and in this position which they seek to put you, I have no faith or trust in you.

I know your name and where you live. I know your phone number. You claim not to trust me anymore and insult me throughout this post. If you no longer trust me, then you are unwise (at best) to be insulting me. But really I think you know very well that I will not divulge this information to anyone. Despite my change of heart on ONE issue, I am still a ped, I still have feelings and I still consider many people here to be friends. No Demo, YOU are the one turning your back on me--in the end, that is what people will see, and your willingness to sacrifice our friendship so readily is exactly why I changed my position in the first place--there are enough callous and shallow individuals in this community alone to make legalizing adult-child sex impractical, even downright dangerous.

Very well then. I wish you no ill will, but if you're willing to turn against me over a change in opinion, then you were never a friend to begin with.
