This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Perhaps the approach is something like this:

"Disrobed, I will love it as if it were a dwarfish man.  I will draw staring 
eyes and a smiling mouth.  I will anoint it with sweet oils, cozen and kiss 
it, beg its love.... Erupting it will bathe me in semen, and I will praise 
and kiss the more, saying how happy it has made me and begging it not to go."
