Tad is not any more of a child molester than Elvis Presley or Jerry Lee Lewis. Calling Tad a child molester is like calling Abraham Lincoln a rapist because he was involved with Mary Todd and several pregnancies resulted. I kinda wish you'd drop the slur but I guess there's no hope of that.Someone came to me with a concern that Tad was a child molester...
- WHAT *CONDUCT*? Calling assholes like Sam and Pilgrim out on stuff and discussing hang gliding issues with Bill Cummings?...and his conduct might harm our forum.
- Is there anybody ELSE whose conduct MIGHT harm YOUR - sorry OUR - forum?
- Ya gonna get into the issues of future crime? Cut someone up because of what somebody else THINKS he MIGHT do?
- There ARE NO and NEVER WILL BE any goddam kids on your goddam forum. It's a TOTALLY BOGUS issue that you used as an excuse to take me out. (How convenient!)
- What I told you was that I didn't understand what could/would happen to him (and me) as a consequence of the viciousness of the legal system and machinery when it kicked in - and I DEEPLY regret that. But he stayed with me for a couple of years 'cause I was the only person who accepted him as he was and was able to protect him to some extent from bigots and bullies such as yourself. And there are a lot of kids like that who don't have anyone to protect them from bullies and bigots and blow their brains out because of the harassment and isolation. (And I know the feeling very well myself.)I asked Tad if he felt remorseful or if he felt he'd done anything wrong.
- There's a REAL GOOD chance that if you took me out of the equation he'd have gotten into a relationship with somebody else which would've blown up in their faces in a similar manner.
- How someone FEELS about something is none of your or anyone else's fucking business. We really don't wanna start getting into issues of how people feel and instead worry about what they DO. If Rooney launches at Whitwell with his carabiner dangling I can FEEL any way I want to. If I disconnect his carabiner when he's not looking before he launches at Whitwell that's a different matter.
Maybe you shouldn't have done that because there was no relevant conduct.As usual, I went right to the source and I asked Tad about it.

Gawd you're slow on the uptake. That was a STATEMENT - not a confession. Your thinly veiled little accusation made it necessary. Trust me - I know how these things play out and how do the necessary damage control to minimize things.That's when Tad launched into his own public confession.
- I got news for ya. EVERYBODY'S attracted to seven or eight year old boys. When parents start hating each other they go to court and try to kill each other fighting over the seven or eight year old boy. If a seven or eight year old boy falls over the rail into the Lowland Gorilla exhibit he'll get picked up and taken care of until he regains consciousness. People who say they're not attracted to seven or eight year old boys are generally LYING.That public confession led to additional phone calls where Tad revealed his attraction to 7 or 8 year old boys.
- "Led to" additional phone calls? YOU MADE additional phone calls.
And you were really surprised when I didn't?That's when I sent him a private email message asking him to leave the forum on his own or I would ban him. I had hoped he would voluntarily leave on good terms, but he did not.
