Originally posted by Red NightThis is ridiculous. You really don't get it, do you? The world is not yours. It doesn't operate under your laws and ideas. A 15 year old girl who has learned to deal with real issues in life is a good girl. She'll most likely do well for herself unless something terrible happens to her.

It breaks my heart:
I'll be 15 in November, and my dad plays under the name Kirksey957. He introduced me to the site, and encouraged me to participate in the forums (when I first joined I had just turned 12 - which was before you had to be over 13). I quickly learned numerous swear words, tons of things I wou god knows what else. If anything, this site has benefited me when it comes to maturing.
This is a good thing. The post you're referring to as awful is both well written and makes a valid point. Don't do this. Don't quote others, tell us all how awful it is, and then expect everyone to automatically agree with you because you think it's bad.
*Just realising that I myself has repeated my own point of view three times. I'll leave it at that then, unless you come up with actual arguments.*
Originally posted by Red NightWhy does this break your heart? I am a minor. I accept that fact and don't deny it. Would you have more respect for me if I had lied and told you I was 19?

Originally posted by Remora91its the possibility that the seedyness started while you were still 12-16, i think thats the point he's making, correctly in my view.

My other post:
Yes, there are creeps on the internet, and quite frankly they don't bother me after I politely ask them to stop. They don't cyber-stalk me. All but a few of them don't know my age until I tell them (they assume I'm 17-19 based on my pics). And afterwards most of them are quite embarrassed about the mistake and don't talk to me again after apologizing excessively. Please know that letting your children find these people on their own is going to be a lot more harmful than getting to know that they're there and how to properly deal with them.
Originally posted by Red NightThe only awful thing is that you've just posted this one statement and neither of her 2 replies to you after it.
I agree, it was hard to reproduce this. I had mixed feelings. But when I read it, I felt I had to show it to all of you who argued that the behaviour I was fighting wasn't causing any harm.

Your spin-doctor tatics and 'cast the first stone' attitude are really undermining any attempts to take your views seriously. Maybe you should jump off the 'holier than thou' band wagon and think about the way you're coming across before pointing the finger at all of us.
Originally posted by Red NightI don't know Remora91, I've never played her or pm'd her. I have however read a number of her posts over the years; and the level of maturity and thoughtfulness she demonstrates makes you look like a fool in comparison.
a bunch of crap
Why don't you ponder that for awhile.

15 year olds can't give consent to be involved in this sort of thing.
Originally posted by Red NightI have nothing to do with forum moderation.

I have no idea what you are talking about with the "consent". Her dad plays here and is active in the forums. I'd leave it up to him, he is obviously doing a fine job of parenting, if her forum presence is any indication of her real life.
Now I feel like I have fed the troll. Carry-on if you must, I'm out of here.
Originally posted by Red NightCan you tell me why, there are so many kids having sex???

Can you tell me why, there are so many young girls pragnent???
Can you tell me why, there are so many young kids dronk every weekend???
Can you tell me why, there are so may young kids experimenting with drugs???
My two cents:
Because some parents are over protective and so nobody tells them about the possible consequences before it is to late!!!!!!
And don't think that keeping them at home and of the internet will work.
Originally posted by Red NightWhy does it break your heart? She's learning about the world as it is, not as you see it. From what I know of Remora, she's intelligent, savvy and not at all gullible. Your world would create people her age who were underequipped to deal with sex on any level, people who were ill prepared and infantile in their ability to cope with the reality of a world where sex is everwhere.

Originally posted by Red NightWhat are you on about? All I can see is that a young girl because of this early exposure has become very stable and has learned how to deal with and mature as a result. Maybe you prefer children to be retards. I find that to be heartbreaking. I think this child or rather young lady and her parents need to be applauded. Good family. You go girl!

Kirsksey and his family are, and always have been, a credit to the site.
If you're trying to score some cheap shots here, I think they have badly misfired.
