    I don’t know who that is, but I often use my pirated copies of cockshots books as references, that someone may be wrong about some things, does not invalidate other positions.

    That being said, that letter is disgusting, everyone who signed it should be redacted.

        Yhea, that he is a pedophile doesn’t make the parts of his work I agree with any less true. Hell the other day I posted a Herbert Spencer quote in the news mega, to sort of make the point that if you feel sad for the dead American terrorists, you have worse takes than this guy.
