My apologies and gratitude...

I am not retracting a single word of the response I gave to your initial post. Those are, still are, my honest opinions. Keeping in mind, based on my initial impression of you. However, I've given at least a bit of benefit of doubt to more dubious 'hit and run' posters and didn't give you that same respect. For that, I apologize.

I have to admit I was biased, but you know that everybody who hasn't talked to you and doesn't share your feelings is biased, we're so used to think "pedophile = child molester" that we don't realise that "pedophile = child lover" and "child molester = psycho".

Saying "pedophile = child molestor" is exactly like saying "heterosexual = rapist." So, while some of the replies toward your "Questions" post were harsh, you have to understand how frustrated we can be.

I'm glad you are willing to be open-minded about this. Welcome to GC.
