Context, Context, Context Regarding these curious websites that like to quote mine people like me [at least one of which has done a true hatchet job on me]… …I would like to point out one of the mammoth omissions, which these people never like to include or explain… I have expressed a lot of things over the years, which if taken isolated, might alarm some people…because they don’t understand the context, in which I expressed such a thing. If you have any familiarity with me at all…then you know I am very prone towards writing long [or “longish”] essays…This is because I prefer to explore issues deeply, and to be thorough in explaining myself… Some people like to make one or two line responses to others…I am not like that…It is my nature, to give a fully fleshed out response…which can expand on a lot of things, and a lot of contexts…I like to share this, in my writing… …And you can never understand the heart and soul of my writing, nor my intent…by simply plucking a few bits out of it, that you can exploit…You virtually always need the lead in, and often the aftermath, to understand where those comments even fit into what I was trying to express… If you are being denied this [IE: they won’t even give you a citation link, to my original content] …then you are not truthfully being given an honest picture of me. One especially dirty trick…is cherry picking little bits of my writing, where I make some sort of comment about a sort of sex act, and/or how children and adolescents ought to be able to enjoy them just fine, provided they are not preconditioned to fear such acts…or so long as they are not in an environment, which will severely punish them [or their partner] if caught doing such things. I’ve always spoken of these things, in terms of philosophical culture change…or what is possible, outside of an extremely prohibitive culture [like our current one in the USA]. …And these people obsessed with dragging me through the mud, will never tell you this. My comments of this nature are never given in the context, of somebody else looking for “sex advice”, or “tips for how to get a kid in bed”… …I have always offered these sorts of comments, in the context of understanding that there would be a cultural and social environment in place, that leaves people free enough [mentally and physically] to enjoy these sorts of companionship…that the artificial suffering, from being made to feel like a social outcast, simply would not be there…but instead, there would be an atmosphere of understanding and acceptance…a nurturing environment, that celebrated this form of love. In that context…what I speak of, is entirely possible…It just takes a deeper human understanding, and a will to move past ignorance and phobia. These websites, run by small minded people, intentioned on assassinating my character [amongst that of other, often very decent individuals]…They simply want you to think, that I have extreme and unbalanced viewpoints…or that I have some obsession with sex…or with children…or with sex with children… Keep in mind, however…they are intentionally ferreting out those types of comments, to parade them in front of you, and make me seem like something I factually am not… …If you do not know me…then you would almost absolutely be floored, at discovering the mountain of writing [and other content] I have done over the years, which these nefarious websites would never consider directing your attention towards… On the contrary…some of the people behind these very same websites, have actively worked to censor me, and remove large amounts of my writing [and media] from the internet…so that you would never be able to see it, or read it…so that you would never be able to see me, but only the distorted caricature they wanted to present of me. That collection of everything I have created, taken as a larger picture…is the key to understanding who I am, and what I am about…It is in this massive collection, that you come to realize I am a human being with strong ethics, enormous empathy and a reasonably sharp, creative mind…someone who suffers, and someone who loves…And people like me do have sound standing…We have true and valid grievances…Our lives can be perfectly well defended…We are a vital part of human culture…We are moral and ethical…and we belong. I think this is what offends those small minded people, who would do such ugly things against people like me…They don’t want people like me to belong anywhere, except in the most wretched of circumstances…So they demonize us, and try to take our true identities away from us…They try to strip us of every right and freedom…because they wrongly fear us…And people like me, end up being the surrogate target for their hate…being treated like a punching bag, over everything bad that has happened to them in their own lives…but stuff which, factually, has absolutely nothing to do with me/us personally. The people who commit these hostile acts of violation against us, have deep psychological problems…and an extreme deficiency of integrity and ethics…and some of them, are just flat out mean and cruel. Don’t allow yourself to be blinded by these people. It is easy to make anyone seem bad, if you have a lot of content to manipulate…But you only get to really know someone, by interacting with them and what they have created.
