In response to:

Stormy, the board won't let me quote you properly but, yes, I realize there are myriad ways to peddle pornography.
I am guessing that the type of porn I referred to in my post would explain why BVG took such immediate and drastic action. And yes, litigation most often does have an effect in convicting pedos. The (adult) jerk who abused my daughter and her friends ended up doing 20 years in a state prison for his crime!
That is why I wrote my post the way I did.

I just reread your previous post and I am so sorry. It breaks me that sexual abuse and rape happened because it happened to me a few times at age 13 and then more throughout my teens years--different situation and types of abusers. It leaves a scar just like been bullied as kid, so I really get it that is more than legalize and the law. I hope your daughter has found healing and resolution.

I think what happened per what i have been hearing via others was doxxing combined with nude or sexual activity photos. Kind of like this SVU episode. So yeah child porn would apply to these apparent instances of doxxing going on as we would be talking photos of under 18. Every time I know about things like this happening, I question whether the youth can really solve the world's problems but then it is very small subset of young peeps and who obviously never got proper parenting.

Stormy Amphritite, thank you for your kind words. I am terribly sorry that happened to you. It also happened to me in almost the exact same way. From a very young age until I was 18. One incident and perp after another.

I hope you're healing from these crimes as well. I know the scar never really heals. But I've learned to guard it closely and never let anyone do such a thing again!

Stories like both of yours grieve my heart. The trauma, fear, heartache, terror, and anger generated by what happened to you never goes away. It is a part of this world that I can never reconcile no matter how badly I want to fix it all. Words are never enough, time only dulls it, and it affects who you are until you draw your last breath. You are both to be commended for carrying on and choosing to be as whole as you can be.

love this Rod!

He's no worse than the marionette with zero opinions on the other side.

Good gosh can we not have an intelligent, graceful, and inspiring person who isn't retirement age to vote for? Is that asking too much? I guess so.........

I'd be entertained by it all if the consequences of whoever wins weren't so significant. Oh wait, rich people will win either way. Never mind........

I can't do the ageism thing, My hubby is 19 yrs older than me at 81. While he might be absentminded or forget that movie etc he is in full control of his decision making and how he feels about things. That's why judging people's abilities and minds by age does not work, which is also my not saying I agree on forum or not about that candidate who is not the one who believes he is the sun of his own solar system.

Actually, i have no issue with age but i am very concerned that we do not see many qualified and/or inspiring rising up to run in the future. too much fear out there i think.

I'm very much an ageist. I see the decline in people all the time from it, both professionally and personally. They lose not just energy, but also creativity, adaptability, flexibility, focus, and drive. I realize there are exceptions, but as a rule it's a bad plan. We have 2 perfect examples of the risk - a couple of mentally soft old dudes who should be arguing over what channel the tv is on in the rec room instead vying for the US presidency. They should debate each other in rocking chairs on a porch.

The problem with finding younger candidates who are qualified is based in the seniority (reverse ageism) picks made by party leadership. They pick their buddies for better roles, who are all as old or older than they are. The "new" candidates have to "earn" it by serving time - thus eliminating them from presidential contention based on experience. The other reality is that we expect perfection in the people chosen. And there are so few adults who haven't committed some "electability" sin along the way. They've either spouted something at one point that someone saw as racist/sexist/elitest/dumb/cruel etc etc etc. Everything is recorded now, so their mistakes are documented for eternity. Nobody forgives because no one is allowed to forget - thanks to our entertainment based media.

Politics are one of my favorite topics, often because they are so polarizing. People tend to pick a team and ride or die with it, not understanding that both teams are the problem. They are out of control.

Fallacious argument, sorry. You are using the standard both sides excuse. I'm not saying either side is perfect, but there is a huge difference if you can be bothered to pay attention. I'm not going to name names for examples, but there are plenty. The fact that you enjoy polarizing topics and the both sides argument says a lot about how little you understand what's at stake. I'm not going to touch that any further.

As for the ageism and your admitting to being an ageist, hey at least you're honest. It's also fallacious to assume younger people will be better. There are plenty of rotten younger ones. You think everyone else is the problem, but your attitude is a huge part of the problem. I could go on and on explaining how this all works, but it's a waste of time and would be lost on you.

You are right Lisa, no matter what he says or does you can never trust his words. He *admitted on here* to being a HACKER and he's not the White Hat kind. I know from personal experience. He's claimed all kinds of wild things over the years, when you lie all the time you can't keep track of it all. Look at his tagline, it has revenge built into it. How is that ok?

The early internet was full of geeks and nerds. As an early computer user I have been here and witnessed it all. In the early days women on the internet were abused and they did ABSOLUTELY nothing about it. I had someone hack my Mac (which was later revealed by Apple to have a security breach in it). Guess who that was and where he came from? He hacked my computer and WATCHED me through it. He watched me undress, God knows what else. You know what the consequences were for that? NOTHING. It changed my entire life. Everything about it and not in a good way. So the owners of these sites must be ethical and listen to what the people are telling them or bad things will happen.

The bodies were left behind but the damage often moves forward with the women. Hackers do it because they can and they have a serious sense of entitlement because of that. They see themselves as superior to others. Anyone who follows politics knows about this attitude that exists as a norm. We still live in a time where there is little accountability for abuse. Women supporting abusive men really ought to give that some serious thought. I sincerely mean that, but do what you must.

BVG needs to stop letting abusers be abusive because it's simply not FAIR. Why do *we* have to pay the price for *their* behavior?
