I think it’s strange and being a pessimist I would certainly hope that one kept a certain distance so no one would draw comparisons between Michael Jackson and the individual.
Whoa! Was Incubus just compared to Michael Jackson?! :eek:
MJ is pretty strange when it comes to dealings with children. Nothing I’ve read in this thread indicates that Incubus encourages or invites pre-teens to sleep in his bed or home.
My 9 yr old is currently having a birthday sleepover as I type. I can hear six boys snoring in the next room. I had BIG fun with all of them today! We played cards, air hockey and video games. I, of course, could not be beaten in air hockey and thus feel like the QUEEN OF ALL GAMERS…but then I determined that there is just something plain wrong with feeding my ego by beating a bunch of 9 yr olds at air hockey all day. LOL! 
I say rock on, Incubus.
Mod note stuff:
Corrected typo in thread title.
Enough boring mod stuff, blah, blah, blah,

And as a poster…
It’s a pretty damned, sad thing when folks have to feel oogy about being simpatico with little ones. IMO we’re tossing out so much that’s good because of a very small but ruthlessly publicized few whose interests aren’t healthy.
I say damn the nonsense. There aren’t enough people, male or female, who genuinely enjoy the hell outta kids. If you have the joy and heart to welcome children being childlike, good for you and GO FOR IT. Kids are totally vulnerable, uncritical goofs who need all the strong adults they can get. Why the hell should they be cheated of kind, good men?

There are a number of guys at church that help out with my group, the gr. 5-7’s. No one thinks they’re weird at all. Most of them have kids of they’re own, but a couple don’t. They’re the "Big Kid’ type and they mostly come to help when we do our monthly Saturday activity. It’s usually something like sledding or an afternoon at a gym for floor hockey etc. These guys are great!
I don’t think there’s a thing wrong with you. Heck, female teacher’s were considered a strange idea a hundred years ago.
Kids are fantastic… they remind you there’s more in the world than fighting and murder and mayhem and all that crap… you sit and watch a toddler try to work out how a cardboard box works and you are in awe of them !!!
Incubus - I’m new here but have read some of your stuff and I think you sound like a very good person… and personally I’d have not one problem having my kids (should I ever have any) around you - especially if you can teach them a love of learning !!!
I think it is sad that some individuals have done such wrong things that it makes everyone sooooooo suspicious of who their children spend time with - though, unfortunatley, there is a the need to be more careful than, say, when I was growing up.
I say keep up the good work Incubus !!!

Thanks Veb.
