Quite correct. Please feel free to "rant on." It appears our
honorary troll mascot for the Galleries has neglected to read your
essay, which is understandable considering his cognitive preference
for single syllable words.
I find it curious that there is very little discussion regarding the
history and ubiquitousness of Boy Love among western English speaking
countries. Aside from certain references to Lewis Carroll, for
example, there appears to be very little to be found regarding it.
That Boy Lovers might, however lacking in discretion, may seek
companionship on shores less radicalised is perfectly predictable, but
I will state my deep suspicion that if Boy Lovers from western
societies that so repress Boy Love, not to mention sexual expression
in general, were NOT seeking this companionship abroad, these agencies
would have considerably less concern as to what was going on in
Bangkok [no pun intended]. There are paedophiles throughout the
world, probably in every culture. So, pray tell, has anyone seen a
desperate INTERPOL request to hunt down an individual from some
non-western society? Yet no expense is apparently spared in dragging
some bloody Brit or American before the bar.
Damnable hypocrites, for they care less for the welfare of children
than they do for restraining members of their own society.
My best regards,
Victor
