I'm all for not having censorship, but this crosses the line of common decency. Amazon CS will here from me on this. Not selling this book is not censorship, just being a responsible vendor. |
I am speaking here from a position few of you have and in my opinion none of you who have not been in my situation have ******* right to say a thing.
I was molested, sexually, as a child starting from the age of 6-yrs old and it continued for several years. It has ruined my life for the most part. And yet, over the years I am a staunch supporter of complete freedom of expression.
If anyone here things forcing this ban on this book will stop on single child from being molested you have a sad sense of self-importance. Certainly write your letters to the publisher as well as Amazon. but here is food for though, ever ******* time you make a huge deal of this every single person who lived though this sort of torturous hell gets the lovely chance to relive the whole thing. And you have zero right to make me or anyone on my position to experience it all over again.
So while you feel you are "helping" none of you understand the ramifications of making a huge public issue of the matter...so ******* for causing me to relive it all over again today. Your public displays of indignant puffery, anger and "outrage" does none of us any help it simply returns many memories and sense of being a complete failure at life back front and center. Thanks for that...I mean why handle the matter like a truly caring adult and learn the last thing a person who lived through the acts wants is more violence...and here you are behaving in a manner that is almost no different than the bastard who molested me or who did the same or worse to others. But as long as you get your "me too" message out in public it's all good....so thanks for the thought you put in your decisions to publicly state the opinion rather than pursue other avenues.
