Chris. Very few of the people posting here on this issue had any animosity toward you when this began. Some have expressed and I believe held some filial cyber brother hood with you.

Chris I've tried several ways to help you appreciate the perspectives of other posters, partly because I thought it would help everyone come to some consensus resolution and partly I meant to be helpful to you.

Now I feel the need to be frank as one man to another. I have daughters that are on line a lot. Poet is not one of them :)

However, I realised a long time ago that if one of my daughters were experiencing this kind of issue; I would be very aggressive with the person they were complaining about. I don't know a father, or husband who wouldn't be completely undone by this. I have worked very hard to restrain myself in expressing to you how deeply this effects me. I imagine it is many multiples worse for any woman imagining themselves involved in this type of thing. Can you appreciate what I am saying? Can you see why the empathy and advocacy for Poets complaint is gaining in momentum each day. Step back, look at this as though you were a concerned father or husband. Do you think we are putting this much energy into this because we are simply bored with the usual debate topics? I care Chris.
