Hi Christine, I have read some interesting thoughts on a form of censorship and want to share a different perspective. At times the ask God thread is turned to a battle ground where anyone can come and add their hate for innocent people that are not there to represent themselves, therefore it can lead to a virus that causes violence against innocent people. My point is to me freedom is hinged on morality, if we abuse freedom eventually it will close in on us and it is hard to know how far to go. I understand all the arguments on it but still think there needs to be some boundaries for a safe and happy world for all to enjoy. Have a good day, Nancy

OH PAGAN GODDESS OF THE UNRULY FEET USE NOT THY POWERS TO CLOUD THE ISSUE. Actually, if you wish to see why I raised my cybervoice you would do well to read the post I was replying to. Listen Christine Patricia Ireland opinions are totally irrelevant to me. I care for you so I tried to show you that you rushed to judgment on this one issue. Now you seem to be grasping at straws. Who the hell cares what Patricia Ireland says?! Willey could very well have chosen her words to ellicit such a response from her. It is the EVIDENCE that matters to me. At this point the evidence leaves so much room that I have to give the president the benefit that I would extend to anyone similarly accused. Only new evidence will change my mind about this. You could have the United Nations and league of Women of the the Entire World as well as the local thread Goddess come down on the other side and it would not make a difference. It is only fair that we should mind the evidence above everything else, don't you think?

Christine, let me also say that you are not the only one who misunderstands the concept of patterns. Sexual activity is not a pattern of anything more nefarious than a marked (dare I say healthy to counteract your predatory) libido. Before you think this comment shows a pattern of opinion against "victims" on my part, I will say that I am equally dissmisive of patterns of loose "morals" in cases of rape. As far as I am concerned a woman can be gainfully employed as a prostitute while parading naked in private play grounds of a well known sexual maniac. If she says NO it means NO. Where he to disregard her wishes I would have no problem in believing that rape took place if there is evidence for it.
