All of which is true. But we also have the right to protest it if we feel strongly enough about the issue.

Posts such as "Who Will Take the Son?" though not cp-related may be interest to some, even though they might not come out of lurkdom to say so :) Heck, I post recipes and various doggy dialogues and am not chastised. Relegating people to "special" groups because their interests, etc. = don't fit with yours/ours, in the spirit of fairness to all, shouldn't be tolerated.
