Cesario balling little babies – now that’s fighting ignorance, those ignorant babies.
It’s all good.
Can’t speak yet?
Can’t say a damn thing. Goo Goo?
Could mean anything.
Must be consent.
I fall in the first category. I have enough respect for the members of this board not to get myself banned, but I’ve had it. In my mind, this crazy dude is breaking a board rule - discussing illegal activity - and no one seems to be doing anything about it. I realize that I’m not one of the most prolific posters here, and that I won’t be missed: but I can’t sit here and listen (read) this crap.
That’s two respected and respectable posters (that I know of) who have left over this guy. Is he worth it?
The moderators think so. They have explicitly stated, by their failure to suspend/ban Cesario, that they hate this board and its members. You are not detecting any hints of sarcasm in this post.
Who else has left. I’m snowed in so I have been following this. I missed his previous threads.
This is the post Jodi made here most recently, on October 27. It’s from the thread Cesario, you’re awfully sanctimonious for a pedophile.
Here’s a link directly to the above-quoted post.
I can’t believe that out of 7 pages of this thread, I’m the first to LMAO at the two people on the first page posting stuff to fuck with Google searches for pedophilia by putting Ed Zotti and SDMB in the same sentence with pedophilia repeatedly.
Trying to rationalize why Cesario should not be banned for the post in that link.
Can’t do it.
There is no “I wouldn’t do it until it is legal” there. Just a blatant statement that given the opportunity he will commit a horrendous crime and not feel guilty about it.
See, normally I’d consider myself in the first category as well. I also have always found suicide-by-mod to be self-indulgent, silly, attention-seeking. Now, however, I find myself completely understanding (and experiencing) the conflict that arises when the desire to abide by the rules and just go quietly is outweighed by fury and the need to be very explicit about what one thinks of this situation.
Like you, I don’t think I’d be terribly missed, and my participation here has waned a lot until this weekend. But the itch to just go off on the people I think are being fucking ridiculous here is strong.
Never fear…the mods are either colluding on this issue or getting ready to make some serious justifications, so…it’ll be fun either way.
I caught that too, can’t say it bothered me one little bit.
Well I guess that proves Marley’s point that I am dense, for Google searches never once crossed my mind.
It’s Ed Zotti’s decision. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12086661&postcount=116
My guess is that the administration is actually taking a pause to think. I’d be willing to bet there are some very active discussions going on right now and there will be a policy announcement in the next couple of days. And I think we can assume no children will be abused due to this delay.
Seriously, people, get a grip. This is an online message board. Cesario is not going to reach out through the internet and touch anybody. All he can do here is be extremely unpleasant. The administration will decide if that is or should be made into a violation of board policy.
I don’t think anyone is over reacting. I don’t see calls for molten tar etc. I see some frustrated people who feel they are not being heard by the Mods or Mr Zotti. I also see some people who are frustrated because the Ask A thread has become so controversial. Don’t confuse snark and snide remarks for actual intent to harm… Oh, never mind; I forgot where I was for a minute.
If you think that’s strictly necessary:
For the record, I did read this the first time through.
I’m sorry to hear that.
Are you clear on what my thoughts are, or are you just going by the rumors and hearsay that have been circulating in light of this most recent flare-up?
You are incorrect in your assumption that I think there is any particular child that wants me like that. I don’t. In fact, I’ve deliberately avoided maintaining long-term contact with kids specifically to avoid feelings of that sort developing.
Again, where are you getting your ideas of what I’m thinking?
Hardly the “only thing happening”. Kids aren’t that simpleminded, even if that happens to be the most prominent thought at the time.
While I assume you’re talking about “I’ll get in trouble from this adult”, I initially read that as “I’ll get in trouble with other adults because they don’t like what I want to do with this adult”, which is also a possibility whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. Both are concerning thought-patterns, mind you.
There is really no need to respond to the stuff that’s just contentless insults.
Seems like the kids in my karate class would not be particularly benefited if I suddenly stopped correcting their techniques and explaining their katas.
Responsible parents, by definition, can tell the difference between thoughts and actions.
I’ve thankfully grown past the need for external validation on this one. I am grateful for the people who helped me during that dark time in my life, however.
As I’ve asked in the past. If what had happened to you then occurred again now that you are an adult, would that be considered perfectly acceptable? It seems to me what you are describing would have been rape even if there had been no such thing as an age of consent.
I think this reflects more a failure of imagination on your part than anything inherent in the subject.
Wow, my psychic powers have developed much farther than I’d ever imagined. And to think, there was a time I couldn’t even bend a spoon.
Speaking as a former child myself, I assure you, thoughts aren’t actions.
Once again, this isn’t about what I’ve been describing. What you are describing would still be classified as rape even if all the laws were instantly restructured to be exactly what how I’ve been advocating they be changed.
I keep seeing that assumption, and I still have no idea where you people are getting this crap from. If I didn’t care about avoiding harm to kids, I would be having sex with them already.
The comment was actually that he might want to consider the implications about his obsessive desire to find a virgin coupled with his conviction that there weren’t any over eighteen years old. At least, that was the intent.
