Agreed. Conversely, I'm free to thread ban people whose main goal seems to be to annoy me as well.
Of course you are. In fact, I encourage it. It helps people to identify the weak and fearful on JPP.
Captain Earl, ex-USAF, an anti-American, pro-Russian bans everyone who disagrees with him. Notice that you haven't banned him and he hasn't banned you.
No doubt you think "Phoenyx" is the ideal man.
Up until you pointed it out, I had no idea that Phoenyx was considered to be a female name. As to why I chose Phoenyx as a name, it started with the fact that I've always liked the x men Phoenix character since I was young. The X men Phoenix character has had both male and female incarnations, but that's not why I decided to use a close likeness to its name. I liked the fact that in one issue where the Phoenix faced the Beyonder, it joined up with pretty much everyone in the universe and then shared that knowledge with the Beyonder, causing him to question his plan to destroy the universe. I thought that was awesome.
Aside from that, the phoenix is a mythological bird that's been around long before the X men comic started and I have always liked its mythology of dying only to be reborn. I've also had many times where I have 'died' in a given place online, either by leaving or being shown the door, only to be reborn in another. It could be said that like hope, the phoenix force springs eternal.
Finally, I chose to put a y instead of an i in phoenix because of a certain story involving the river Styxx.
I'm fine with people disagreeing with me, but when a poster can't seem to follow basic rules of etiquette in my threads, that's when I decide it's time to thread ban them.
A very feminine explanation, "sir".
More femininity of the teenage girl kind. No American male whines about thread etiquette. Most of the Trumper males can't even spell it.
You and Biden President have a lot in common, sweetcheeks. Have you considered starting a Girl's Club?
Lastly, and most importantly, dumbass, they aren't your threads. All threads belong to Damo. He can ban you from every thread you created and reinstate me if he so desires. Do you understand that point, Phoenix with a Y?
I thread ban him from all my threads but I generally don't like ignoring people who respond in threads I'm in. I've made an exception or 2 for him though.
Good for you. I'm about a mile beyond that point.
sociopath
Like I said, Dutch is a troll. He'll search for one thing that annoys you and then use it to death. He's a lonely, tedious grump.
He seems to have a group of people for whom he's reasonably polite, but if you're not on it, yeah.
Agreed. Conversely, the laws and organizations put in place to protect minors from the dangers of sexuality can at times be more harmful than the dangers they are supposed to protect minors from. Judith Levine wrote a book on the subject that I think was quite good. Wikipedia has an page on it here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmful_to_Minors
Not sure why you said that. In any case, there are plenty of stories of teen males that had the opportunity to act on their attraction to female teachers. A story from the New York post on that:
Kate Mara on the reality of ‘A Teacher’ predator having sex with a student | New York Post
From the article:
**
Kate Mara’s latest role is a high school teacher who has an affair with her underage student — and it made her realize just how widespread this problem is.
“We had it on Google Alerts,” Mara, 37, told The Post of illicit teacher-student trysts. “The amount of real-life stories that we’d see on a weekly basis was quite overwhelming.

Contrary to what Judith Levine says, fucking kids is wrong.
Language can be a very ambiguous thing. For starters, there is a difference between adolescents and pre adolescents. Using terms like "kids" and "children" can blur that fact. Heck, you can use children for adults as well, as everyone is someone's child no matter how old.
I doubt you read a single page of Judith Levine's book Harmful to Minors. I read the whole thing myself. Unlike you with your black and white ambiguous terms, Judith focuses on the fact that the world is a metaphorical rainbow of variations when it comes to minors and their sexual experiences. I've decided it might be good to quote the introduction to her book to get to the gist of what she's trying to convey. I find it interesting that though it was published over 20 years ago, it's still quite relevant today:
**
In America today, it is nearly impossible to publish a book that says children and teenagers can have sexual pleasure and be safe too.
Perhaps I should have gotten the hint five years ago, when my agent started sending around the proposal to commercial publishers. House after house declined. "Levine is an engaging writer, and her argument is strong and provocative", said on typical rejection. "But we don't see how this point of view will find the broad readhership that would justify our commitment." They all closed with some version of the perennial editorial valediction "Godd luck." I now hear that phrase as a snort of sarcasm.
When one of the most serious editors in commercial publishing did acquire the book, and I wrote a first draft, his comments were encouraging but sober. "It's a courageous book," he wrote me, "for which, as these chapters make abundantly and depressingly clear, the timing probably couldn't be worse." As it turned out, the timing could not have been worse, for him or for me. He was fired (not because of my book) and moved on to other enterprises, and my manuscript was passed to another senior editor. When she demurred (as the mother of a thirteen-year-old girl, she told me diplomatically, "I'm jut not able to address some of the issues with enough objectivity to serve as your guide"), a new recruit at the house took the orphan in. That women inaugurated a yearlong process by which the book would be rendered, as she put it, "more palatable to parents", who were now presumed to be the only interested readers. She asked for "comforting messages", mottled the manuscript with advisories, which begged for deletions: "This sentence will offend parents." "Many parents will find this hard to swallow." She suggested, in defence to parental anxiety, that I remove the word pleasure from the introduction.
In the end, the manuscript was not parent-friendly enough. It left that house and went to others, where it was also found commercially unviable. One editorial board called it "radioactive". The week I got that Geiger count, a full-page ad for John Gray's Children are from Heaven ran in the New York Times. Its text seemed to promise parents that if they just read the book, their kids would become healthy, happy, obedient, and successful. The chubby cherubs floating around the margins implied that they might sprout wings, too.

She did, ofcourse, eventually published the book, but it was certainly an ordeal to get it done.

Words can be very ambiguous things. I think we should take a look at the dictionary definition of victim. Here's the first one from the American Heritage Dictionary:
**
noun One who is harmed or killed by another, especially by someone committing a criminal or unlawful act.

The main issue here is that, in many cases, minors, especially if they are male, don't feel harmed after engaging in a sexual interaction with an adult. I pointed out evidence of this to you from a study in another thread:

I also found it easy to find some news stories that suggest the same thing:

you're so ignorant of the truth of sexual abuse.

what's not abuse?

what is abuse?
adults with minors.

As I've mentioned before, the term sexual abuse has gotten so ambiguous that it can now mean anything from brutal rape to someone engaging in a sexual interaction with someone they are not legally allowed to do in the jurisdiction they're in, regardless of how wanted the sexual interaction was by the other party or what effect it has on their lives.
I find it sad that the very laws and norms that are ostensibly put in place to protect minors can frequently harm them. Judith Levine gets into that in her book "Harmful to minors", as I pointed out in several posts. I think a good one on the subject is this one:
