Thank you docjohn, for your understanding in this matter.

I lived through abuse of many kinds as a child and young adult and feel that doesn't give me any reason to do the same to the next young generation.

I feel those that use their past abuse to explain their present abusive behavior towards helpless/physically weaker humans, make a mockery out of my horrific struggle to maintain a moral existence. They usually abuse because they believe they can get away with it. (IMO)

Thank you again for thinking of and having compassion for a part of this community that can be extremely fragile.
