I have made the choice to take down this site from archive.org... A public statement: It is always a tragedy, when anyone believes that any speech exists for which there can be no outlet. Such an attitude and belief only acts to ensure, that many, many people will continue to deeply suffer, in quiet, censored desperation... Some person at archive.org has made the decision to render the "In Self Defense..." project, inaccessible to the general public...in spite of it being perfectly legal content, with a genuine and positive objective. At this point in time, there remains no response from archive.org to an enquiry. To this person, I am not mad at you, and hold no ill will towards you or archive.org. I realize that many individuals do not have a solid understanding of just where this type of content stands with regards to legality and some people will panic when they encounter it...still others will get carried away with emotion, over such a sensitive issue and decide to attack it in any way they can, on the simple grounds that they could, and they wanted to...and there was no consequence to themselves for doing so. I have held many positions of responsibility in the online child love community, and have been around for over nine years. I can assure you, that I would never post anything illegal or unethical, and am soundly aware of where these lines exist. While I can not stop every person from being offended...this problem exists in the fact that some people are not opening their eyes long enough, to actually see the message being presented. Nothing here is designed to offend...but when the world has gone largely irrational...some would say, outright insane, with a grossly distorted view on this subject matter...how do you even talk about it, without people becoming offended? ...and why is it "always the fault" of the person broaching the topic?...as opposed to the fault of those who wont open their eyes, read the statistics, learn the facts, and understand the issue for what it truthfully is?... Those who spread untruths, while trying to work others up into an emotional frenzy over this topic, are the ones responsible for this mess...not the innocent people who are severely suffering the brunt of their attacks! Still, I understand...archive.org is extremely popular and has millions of users, I am sure. You have a lot to lose, and I am sure there are groups out there who can intimidate and threaten...you did not volunteer for any controversy...and you never made any claim to support free speech (that I am aware of). I have paid you for nothing...we have no contract, and I can expect nothing specific from you...Fair enough... I am not waiting around for a reply, as really, archive.org hosting this site is not an important issue. What I have been doing here, on archive.org, is building and designing a website...the prototype, of the EQ. Foundation, if you will. I wanted a place where I could put everything online, and test it out, without dealing with one of those pesky free sites that would post adds and scripts into your pages. I only gave the URL out to a couple people...and that was for the purpose of visiting and clicking around...seeing if things looked good and worked well...That is why there were never any public responses to any of the content. Simply put...this site has not gone live...and will not go live, for a little while longer. So, while there is a certain person out there, or group, who have no doubt sprained their own elbows by now from patting themselves on the back so much, over getting part of a test site taken down...I am hard pressed to even get annoyed...The best they can get out of me, is an eye roll, and acknowledgement of how lame it is that they invested so much effort, for nothing. For the record, I am done testing here, on archive.org. I would have continued, but given this type of ridiculous treatment, I think it is best that I take this elsewhere. I don't wish to get into any spats with archive.org, as I highly respect this resource, and I will certainly keep them in mind for different projects unrelated to this one, in which they might come in useful. As a final note...I just wanted to express that I find it incredible that anyone out there has so much hatred inside of them, that my book has sustained such a high level of attack and persecution, for as relatively short a time as it has existed. I've gone to great links to hold back my own emotional investment (anger, outrage, suffering, etc.) in this conflict, for the overwhelming portion succeeding...in order to open myself up to the world, and let you all see what a real, human being, pedophile is like...emotionally...mentally...the ups...the downs...the tears and the laughs...even laughing at myself... I am just speechless, that anybody out there would be offended to learn that I am a real human being, with real care for others, real needs and a voice which needs expression. I write and express myself, because I need to find answers...We all need to discover a solution to what is going on today. I am just doing what comes naturally to anybody who finds themselves in this type of a situation...I am trying to sort things out, and make sense of all the insane politics and ridiculous paradigms... ...Is that so wrong? Well...be offended...Yes, be offended that I will never conform to your chosen stereotype, and I will never validate your lies. Be offended world...I am validated, in knowing that I am amongst the modern day catalysts, who are ripping the scabs away from the festering wound, which so many foolishly feign to be a "successful" public policy. This gives me enough reason to live...even if it were the only reason left. I am securing a solid and proven host...and already have the account set up. This will be my last move, until I decide to make a change. I am done playing these stupid games, with idiots who are only trying to pester me and get under my skin. My next stop, will be my permanent home online. I tell you what, though... Back when I was a kid, I never thought I would see the day when so much hate, rage and hysteria would dominate everything, and drown out everyone...even those who simply wanted to talk about some common sense, reasonable and calm solutions to the problem. It blows my mind and just scares the shit out of me some days, when I see where this country is going...with virtually nobody doing anything to stop it, and everybody deathly afraid to do the right thing, and say the obvious... ...whoever says it might get beaten to death...or, any number of things, really... The U.S. has its' Jews and niggers...and I am one of them... ...What did I do, to get stuck in this fucking prison, which mockingly calls itself "land of the free"?...and "home of the brave"?...Who is brave enough to do the right thing, and challenge the sacred cow?... ...Who?...
