...as being totally gay for each other. You both sound like an old married couple. It's ok guys, really. :)

In all seriousness though, Markie, as both a Mod and a pro-contacter, I'd like to ask you to stay. Despite what some others may say, this forum is not for pro-contact pedos only and you are welcome here, Markaba! I know that Diss and Dante and a few others make you feel unwelcome, but you make them feel that way too, and that's ok because that's the nature of adversarialism. You guys are opposing sides in a moral/ethical/political issue, so of course you get on each others' damn nerves!

If you feel like you're tried of having this discussion, stop having it. When one of the pro-contacters mentions your name in a post or makes some snide dig at you, try ignoring it! You rise to their bait (and they rise to yours) every time! I can't tell you, officially, not to discuss the subject. You have free speech (as do your adversaries) so you can talk about whatever you want. I just don't understand why you WANT to keep talking about this. You don't have to respond! If you're sick of it, let Ethan handle it alone for a while (he seems plenty capable). Why don't you post some more Melody Moonbeam? Why don't we talk about how amazingly freaking red-hot Mackenzie Foy was in that last Twilight movie?

I consider you a brother and a friend (no matter that I disagree with your philosophical position on contact) and I would be saddened to see you leave. Go if you want, but go knowing that at least one of us is not happy to see it.
