Robbyn Peters Bennett is one of our foremost advocates for children here in the United States. I see her as a mentor of sorts, albeit from a distance. Her posts on her page helped me understand how I always viewed what was moral and just in parenting. I was told by other sources to use "time-out" or take things away. I just can't be that way. It's too punitive, too scary for them. They need gentle, non-violent limits. So she has a phobia of pedophiles? I'm not sure how honest she is being about being afflicted this time, given by the fact that we had very productive, casual conversations over this issue over the airstream. She wants to be helpful, and I might forgive a last incident regarding a hacked phone account - she probably thought it was "friendly". Nope, only if you ask.
She, like all survivors here, want pedophiles to be independent. The only problem here is that she doesn't realize that I am already pretty self-reliant on this issue, and honest with myself. She has put herself in a vulnerable place, known as pro-social submission, and I don't ask much of her.
Survivors here are used to big requests from pedophiles, many times sexual in nature. She is being told stories about me going to Oregon to sexually assault or rape her.
- I don't live in Oregon
- I don't drive
- I can't afford plane tickets (thus why my final feigned threat before the ban was complete BS - and was supposed to read that way...Tell a big enough lie and you disprove all threat to yourself).
- Last, but most importantly, I hold no anger at you, or anyone as part of a hidden grudge. My grudges are open, meaning if I have a problem, I come out and say it forthright, whether you like to hear it or not.
- I would treat anyone that harshly if they approached me in just the way you were enlisted to do.

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization
will not be published. Flexible application. Debate is allowed, but only civil arguments that presume the best of intentions in their opponent, on both sides.
