What 'conversation'? You simply misunderstood something I posted. You
brought up the issue of my morals when this was never the topic of
discussion.

I have been called a lot of things.

And this makes a difference how, exactly?

Actually, I cannot think of a single occurrence in which Asuka is
demonstrated to be anything other than cruel, vindictive and immature.
I appreciate that her childhood was traumatic, and that this may
explain her behavior to an extent, but it in no way excuses it.

There comes a point at which a person must cease blaming others for
their poor lot in life, stand on their own two feet and take
responsibility for their own actions and the choices that they,
themselves have made.

Last I looked, Rei Ayanami was an Evangelion character, and we were in
the process of discussing certain aspects of her personality,
specifically her sexuality. This was never an 'I want to fuck Rei'
thread.

You have a choice as to which of the comments on this *public forum*
you personally decide to view. 

Don't like what I say? Don't read what I say.

If you think that my comments are bad, then you have obviously never
read any of the posts made by 'goat'. On second thoughts, you probably
shouldn't - I really don't want your heart attack on my conscience.

Repressing one's own desires and urges can be much more dangerous than
embracing them and admitting that they exist.

You should read *my* fics...
