Message Body

: I would like to point out that Crystal very thoughtfully provided, with the aid of another person, for newly submitted stories to be carried on a parallel site, during repair works, but due to the narrow minded attitudes of some people who wanted to impose their own ideas of morality on everyone else, and the implied threats to authors, and all the fuss this caused, the person helping Crystal gave up, and some authors withdrew all their stories.

Putting aside the fact that you're wrong in how you're trying to put a spin on said past events, how exactly does re-hashing this serve any purpose other than to annoy people and possibly stir up the same kind of discontent that had upset Crystal and Ave in the first place? Do you think that Crystal will work any faster getting her coding & updating completed after seeing additional preaching on a tired and long-since resolved issue on her site's forum?

: Both of these reactions are I suppose understandable - many people have responsibilities for young families etc, and are NOT being cowardly when they respond thus, but just careful. As an admitted devout coward myself, I can only laugh at the silly threats because I am a long way away and so ancient that it doesn't metter anymore.

: Alas, we all got what just some of us deserved. It is most regretable, but it is just a sad fact that there are still too many stupid, narrow-minded people on this earth, and my kind of revolution, which refuses to kill and maim people, that argues that it does not matter what others do provided they dont harm you, is unable to get rid of them. One day, such people will be so confused that they will volunteer for brain wipe and reprogramming, but until then the rest of us have to sort of tolerate them, which is decidedly unfair as they are most reluctant to tolerate us.

By your own words, clearly you don't have much desire to tolerate the opinions and concerns of others so perhaps it'd be more honest if you stop pretending that you do.
