"You think it's okay for 12 year old boys to look at naked women doing unmentionable things over and over again as long as they do it in moderation?"

Wha... guh... didn't I just say that kids shouldn't be allowed to see it because they're too young to understand the difference between porn and reality?

"That's like saying 'killing is okay as long as you do it in moderation'."

Do you have any sense of proportion, at all? How is getting off to sexy pictures at all comparable to taking a human life?

"I SPEAK FROM EFFING EXPERIENCE!!! I LIVED IT!!! I KNOW IT'S WRONG. THIS WORLD IS JUST SO SCREWED UP AND TERRIBLE THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE EVERY ACTION THAT IS EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT WRONG SEEM RIGHT. THEY WILL MAKE UP SOME BS THAT BEASTIALITY IS OKAY FOR SOME INANE REASON JUST WAIT AND SEE."

You're the one arguing that we need to forgive a man who victimized countless women. The fact that you're more upset about people who look at porn by themselves in the privacy of their homes is kind of troubling.

"I have had the addiction for a decade and it is disgusting and awful and any who wants to defend that clearly is not right in the head."

I'm not trying to invalidate your experience. Yes, there are people who get addicted to porn, and it's never pretty. But there are also people who get addicted to mobile games. Should we denounce those too?

"I am sorry if that is a personal attack on you, but you clearly do not understand that doing the nasty to women, someone's sister/daughter, who should be regarded as equals, as intelligent creatures with thoughts and feelings and not just prizes, just something for men to you-know over."

You do realize that women watch porn too, right? And that there's plenty of gay male-on-male porn to go around?

And do you seriously have the audacity to come after me for disrespecting women? Have you forgotten who you're defending?

"I said repeatedly that he should be punished for what he did."

Then what are you getting all up in my face for?

"You are additionally hateful because you bring up that you don't agree with just because 'it says so in the Bible' and 'the Bible' is the worst thing ever created by human beings."

Whoa! And you accuse me of putting words in your mouth? All I said is that Bible verses should not be used as scientific evidence. Neither should Qur'an verses, or Taoist scriptures or whatever. Philsophical texts written centuries ago cannot be used to back up modern scientific studies.

". It's possible. Change is possible."

Again, where do you draw the line? Is any crime forgivable? Should we just let serial killers out of prison if they ask super nicely and promise to change?

But I'll concede that, while I don't think it's likely at all, maybe Chris will change over the past few years. If he spends the next few years keeping his image clean, working on behalf of sexual harassment prevention charities, and speaking out about the problem that he was part of (similar to the approach Michael Vick took after he was let out of prison for running an illegal dogfighting ring), then I'll be willing to admit that he's at least making an effort to change.

As of now, though? He hasn't done anything to earn a second chance.

"I am offering a peaceful and nice alternative and you just hate me for it."

You have a serious persecution complex, dude. I never said that I hated you.

"You are arguably worse than FirstDrellSpectre because like him you are so obsessed with one little thing"

Serial sexual harassment isn't a "little thing".
