This is off topic but relevant in view of a message that I received. I got an explicit, pornographic image that was the sole content of the message from personal someone identifying himself as Jim Roberts. This person had never posted anything on one of the Forms.
I deleted the image because it could be harmful to any minor who might see it. We need remember that there are minors using this site so that they can, among other things, get information for class reports and other assignments.
A warning to "Jim Roberts": it is a violation of federal law to transmit a sexual image potentially harmful to children to any media in which children might be viewers. No, this was not plain and simple nudity as out of the centerfold of a men's magazine. This was far more troublesome.
...I have been concerned with the ethics and politics of same-sex marriage because of my desire for a better world even for people who have a significant difference from me. Now that the struggle for same-sex marriage has become an all-but-done deal, it is literal history. Whatever slight role I have had in my written support of same-sex marriage, I might have cause for pride even if it is to support something that I would never do myself.
On the other side, transmission of pornographic images as an insult to me (or anyone else) for the side that I took in a debate is inexcusable. It would be similarly inexcusable to transmit such images as an insult to people on the other side as in-the-face insults.
Let's not gloat. Other issues will confront us soon enough. Many who opposed same-sex marriage thought that they did so for the best interests of America as a whole.
Sock/Troll nothing against your position on SSM.
