So, after combing through the notes: What is it that I disagree with him on - specifically?
What I wrote says that I don’t like to have my comment(s) taken out of context, that I think the post was trollish and meant purely for argument, and that I don’t care to have an opinion laid onto me that I do not believe.
What have you found in all of your careful research?
Everyone sees what they want to see. Like wearing glasses of varying colors and darkness.
But if a person is willing to give up fondly held beliefs in order to see the truth, they will see it; it’s like wearing clear glasses that don’t block out anything.
No problem, mischaracterizations of people’s posts seem to be flying around pretty freely on this thread, I can see how it could get confusing.
I saw the comment before it was pulled. He asked if they would suffer permanent harm from seeing it, even if they did not continue to view it after that.
The only statements that I've seen to the effect that it does not harm them have come from you mischaracterizing that question.
Direct quote. Doesn't say "if they don't continue to view it after that. That's your addition. You want to support pornography "use" among young people, go right ahead. Worst case is a comment might get pulled and then you can claim you didn't say it exaclty like that.
I didn’t attempt to pervert what you wrote. I simply misunderstood your intent. I didn’t realize it was a flippant comment. All you needed to do was explain what you really meant instead of getting all riled up (assuming you were indeed riled up, because I could again be mistaken). I certainly didn’t mean you any ill will.
BTW, I don’t actually disagree with your comment about feminists. I also agree I sometimes miss flippant remarks and misconstrue them to be serious debate. Text alone is a pretty poor means of communication. Again, you could have easily and politely defused it all by simply posting you were poking fun at feminists and agreed porn can be addictive.
Why don’t you guys just ask the admin what I said, or if he will reinstate the comment, that way, this issue will be cleared up.
Show me the original statement, and I'll retract. Until then I trust my own memory more than I do you.
Fine with me.
I could be wrong. Does it match what LJ is claiming is "direct quote" from your post at 28 or has that been edited?
Put it this way, if I was a betting man...I’d go with you
Who needs pr0n when you have Free Republic?
Cheers!
Satan’s second best trick, after convincing the world he didn’t exist, was getting it to call porn “adult entertainment”.

Men need to rediscover masculinity combined with teasing.
Works every time, once you learn how.
You know you’re doing it right when she gives a little angry titter, and slaps your arm, saying, “Will you *quit* ?!” while her eyes shine at you.
Cheers!
I think that is true. The men in my life teased me and I loved it. I think it sort of recapitulates the teasing a father does with young daughters. A safe and giggly time.
Young teens have been getting pregnant long before the existence of Internet porn.
So you’re saying pornogragphy is okay for 13 year olds to watch, or what? Be honest with point, please.
Porn is a war on men. Women in porn are paid much more than men in porn. Or so I’ve heard.
