"If you don't like the rules the site puts down, go" and when live/modern society coms with insanely absurds or restrictive and overly cautious /correct rules what you do ? wel if i follow your idea, if i don't like th websiter's rule, i just quit the website, if i don't like life's rules, i just quit lie. ... hmm where did i put this damn gun ? my filthy head need some lead in it to correct my deviant mind ! when i read all again and agan about this inquisition like thing, this blatant paranoia , all i see is that because of such the fuss abotu it, medias and perople so far (in my coutnry a least) achieve the reversal effect: when shown how hard it was to track pedophils down, and how easy it was to step into it, in the past few years of mediatic pedophilia inquisition, the "known" and reported cases number grown by something like 300% at least ! in fact many "wanabe pedophiles" who were caught were in fact, in some way, made self confident in "trying" somethign hey would never even had the idea of, becase of tv. It also became a way to "burn at stake" anyone, just lik in inquisition, you just needed to say "she is a witch", no need to proove it... well nowadays it is the same, you do not need proofs, or details, just spit out the word loud at someone in public and the "target" is socially dead forever, no matter the efforts or the truth. you know what it reminds me ? it is like "retroactive" plants/fruits in terry pratchett's discworld, like retroactive wine, which gives you headache BEFORE you drink it, or retroactive grape, so, which you can harvest the year BEFORE you sew it (of coruse if you then forget to sew it after harvestign it, you just ruin the tspacetime continuum) this topic (and some similar ones) just keep sprouting every day, because of the fear, the doubt, the need of justification of people, the fear of being targeted (falsely most of time) or to preemptively affirm out loud you are in the "RIGHT" side before you risk being put by some in the opposit side. fear, paranoia, suspicion.. well all this has just gone INSANE ! so far it is the most accurate word i could came with. Nice to think that, as a word, insanity in english means what we know, but in my native langage, it means "vulgarity" too !!! vulgarity of the mind, what a nice word trick ! :)
