You are pretty good at it to apparently. The whole "I could call you a name but I wont" statement in my mind you just called me something. And then quote part of what my statment was on that kkk and Nazis that ended with "that's an extreme example" that you conveniently left off. I was angry that you pulled that I could but won't bit but I'm over it and really wasnt trying to bait you. I just think if you are going to say something say it to my face dont whisper it to yourself. I'm done with this conversation over all do as you all like. It's a good thing to remember no matter who is reading to your kids be it guy, girl, drag queen, clown or cowboy be involved they all could be weirdos or perfectly good people trying to do good.
Peace and joy to you all.
Hello; Since twenty leagues is quit from this thread, or at least this current particular topic, my comments will be for clarification. Pretty sure I did not call any names but will conceded I often do not understand what is in the mind of some folks. I try to make my points while staying within the site rules especially lately after the warnings handed out by the Mods.
Yes associating my opinion and also the opinion of a few other members with the Nazis and the KKK beliefs was and is an extreme example. That twenty leagues clearly knew it was extreme and went ahead with the comments is the telling point. His acknowledging a comment is extreme does not, to me at least, lessen the impact of making the comment. I did feel then and still feel my opinions were equated to beliefs of the two groups named. That I do not see my opinion that way is not a surprise I guess.
I do get twenty leagues points of view but simply do not agree with them. I have no way to know in general what the personality of a man dressing as a woman might be who plans to go read to children. I do know from news reports that at least one of those men turned out to be a convicted sex offender. So in one particular case I feel confident he was not there to try to do good. I simply do not like the idea even if all the rest of those men are nice guys.
