I will acknowledge you are a good, decent person who does their best and it's pretty good. Even acknowledging that hating a child molester is a fault is a giant leap forward, a crossover into a conscience from which there is no return. I admire that, and I'm not sure I'd be that far had I not had occasion to know some of these people.

I appreciate those words.
