Bingo. Edg must be reading from the same manual as Rick about how
damsels in distress need rescuing from relationships of their own
choosing.

I meant to add in my other post that I am with Edg on his desire to protect
young girls from the dangers. No, Sal, they aren't always "relationships of
their own choosing." A lot of what Edg said was right on. If more men took his
attitude, innocense would be much safer in this world. He just went too far in
calling telling Turq he was a predator.
Another thought on all this. Edg sings the joys of being really intimate with
one person while others extol the fun of one-night-stands. Maybe what's right
for one isn't what right's for another person -- different needs from
relationships, sex, etc. It's great to share one's perspective on how great
life is on one's own side of the track, but when we start to think the folks
living on the other side of the track are just plain wrong, it's hard to learn
from each other anymore. Because then communication stops, and we can't benefit
then from the other person's vastly different perspective.
I'm much more like Edg than like Barry in what I value in relationships, but
I'm fascinated reading what Barry, Curtis and others have written about their
radically different ways (from mine) of doing, learning and experiencing in
such matters. I'm seeing some goodness where before I saw only things I didn't
understand or judged. Their wrtings have opened my mind to a greater
understanding, and for that I'm grateful.
