In sum, there is simply no credible basis on which to justify
this set of circumstances. It's curious that you seem to have
taken up the mantle of attempting to do so<g>


I haven't at any point claimed to justify the relationship. What I am doing is exploring why we find this relationship so abhorrent, what the contours of the situation are, whether such relationships must always be condemned and if so why, and similar questions.

I appreciate that this is not particularly popular. Heck, they killed Socrates for asking unpopular questions. (I think some here might have voted in the majority!) But I think the inquiry is legitimate and important for those willing to engage in it. For those who disagree, they have both the Next and Ignore buttons available.
