As I said, I did receive an answer to my email.

Needless to say, I did respond to it.

First, the Warriors for Innocence response, followed by mine.

Please

First, let me say that you are a fantastic person to be spearheading this, both for taking it upon yourself and for doing it in such a professional manner. Second, let me say that I am so incredibly angry right now, partially because innocent people are being hurt, but also because this *idiot* just made it harder for legitimate law enforcement to find the *real* offenders. I am married to a federal agent and I *know* people who work these types of cases, and I also *know* that amateurs endeavors like this can set legitimate operations back months and even *years*. I just...I am this close to getting on the phone with somebody, but I also know that all anyone over at Quantico can really do is sigh, mutter "morons," and move on. I am so...oohhh.

Screw it. I am calling some people. Maybe they can do something about this.

I just have to say, good for you. *gives two thumbs up*

[shinraisei]

I say call some of those people that you know, because even I'm not even in Law (or in a discipline related to it) and even I know that something like that can set back investigations terribly. I mean, one could deduce this by pure logic alone.

*sigh*

Hopefully whoever you'll be calling can do something, or at least know what to do. I commend you for your effort too *thumbs up*

[lanternsdance]

Maybe hearing it from one of the people you know will make the light bulb turn on.

One can only hope, anyway.

Good for you, if you do know anyone who might be able to do anything about this group you should do it. I mean as I recall aren't there laws about interfering with official investigations? About falsely accusing people? Thank you for trying and if I knew someone who might be able to do something I would call too. Thank you again.

Obstruction of justice.

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about false accusations. I know a person (A) from the first round of witch hunts back in the 80's who lost his house mounting a legal defense because his neighbors were involved in a vicious custody battle and the parent that moved out claimed "A" was doing bad things to the child, in order to get custody.

Amateurs, dedicated? Gimme a break.

Just once it would be nice for an amateur to be dedicated enough to protecting children that they sacrifice their job and money to go through actual legal training to become professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and actually *qualified* for this so-called protecting that they do. If they can't even talk themselves into being trained to deal with abuse, then what is their REAL motive? It takes TRAINED PERSONNEL to deal with predators and to heal their victims, not jerks projecting their personal problems on someone else. Let me be more blunt. Jerks PREYING on people they don't know, BECOMING PREDATORS themselves by participating in witch hunts that damage ordinary people and ironically end up protecting abusers.

[nlblake]

What would they need legal training for? They are good, religious, puritan people, god-gifted with the talent to recognize a bad person by seeing them or reading their posts or listening to their songs or watching their paintings...*please note the sarcasm*

They've declared themselves warriors for a noble cause to better hunt all those people who they've always found distasteful...like anyone who reads/posts/writes yaoi fanfiction/fiction.

Witch hunts are bad enough in and of itself, but when they are harming the operations of those who actually do something against child predators is when I get really mad.
