As an addition to my comment about GCB, lest it sound like I am letting
him off the hook for the abuse he has put upon innocent children, I want
to add that I am outraged at what he has done to children and to the IE
movement. It is only after feeling my anger at him that I am capable of
feeling compassion for his personal suffering. No one can abuse another
who has not been abused at some time himself. He too, was once a victim.

My best, Ellie
