OK, judge for yourselves:

Zeke, it is interesting the way you take Aurel's comments out of context to try to make him look like he is advocating sexual abuse, when it is clear he was raising a question about our society's ideas about sex and sexual abuse. I find the question Aurel raises to be very interesting, and I find your ranting to be very disturbing.

You see, I was sexually abused by adults as a teenager. No, it's probably not the sort of abuse you would recognize, no adult ever touched me. My sexual abuse was done by adults playing games with my mind. I was raised in a very strict religious environment; my own parents taught me that sex was something shameful. Priests told me that I would burn in hell for all eternity if I masturbated. The religious books I was given by my teachers explained to me that if I even looked at a girl or woman lustfully it was a sin that needed confessing for forgiveness. My feeling guilty about my body's natural desires was the goal of this rancid indoctrination.

There are predators that abuse children, teens, and adults physically, and there are predators that abuse others mentally without every laying a hand on their victims. I never suffered physical sexual abuse, but I know the anguish of the mental sexual abuse I had to endure, and I know how hard it was for me to re-adjust myself to a position of psychological health and to learn to accept my body and desires as something that was natural and good. I don't look at my past experiences with ideas of competing for any "victims badge of honor" though, I simply look back to learn from what I experienced. That looking back at how I was treated and thinking about questions similar to those Aurel has raised has helped to give me a keen sense about others.

When I see the rage in your responses (anger by your own admission) to the questions and comments here, I get the strong suspicion, that somewhere lurking within your mind is a very dangerous predator.

BTW, "sexual predator" or "dangerous predator" in the context of the thread are the same thing. Here's the thread:

Look to page 4 if you want to see where this all comes about. This has to be the ALL TIME LOW in my experience on PPOT. Beats ol' Clinton big time.

Isn't that what this thread is all about? Decency? Show me decency in compententone's post and I'll leave with my tail between my legs.
