Yes, I did. I said I wouldn't get upset about it. I'm not upset, and I
won't get upset about it. It isn't worth my time and there's nothing I
can do to stop him from doing what he wants with other consenting
adults. That does NOT mean I find such behavior acceptable or beneficial
to anyone involved.

The two are completely unrelated, dummy. I'm not upset by what some
pederast chooses to do out of my sight. If he explains his predilections
in any detail, I may or may not express my views about
morality/immorality. I still wouldn't get upset at any point in that chain.

Contrary to what you apparently think of me, and perhaps others, I don't
get physically or emotionally upset by what others say or do. My mind,
emotions, and body are not controlled or affected by the private actions
of others.

He made a rash generalization about his behavior and attributed it to a
sense of ethics. I took exception, and I still do. That is what every
aspect of my responses to him was about. Your silly game has only
muddied the water, and taken us away from the main issues I raised. In
so doing, you chose to ignore the points I made and interpret ONE
****ING QUESTION in light of what you *think* I meant or thought. You
were, and still are, WRONG about my intentions.

You must be ignorant of the fact that claims made in advertising are
overseen by government regulators. I don't know which agency or agencies
operate in Sweden, Denmark, or if it's handled by the Eurocrats, but
here it's the Federal Trade Commission. They're very active in pursuing
false claims by industries, companies, and illegitimate sales operations.
