S.R. Delany's "Neveron" Stories

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.

The difference is that he's not that particular kind of pervert, but
politically supports their right to exist. His argument (which I do _not_
agree with) is that man-boy love was acceptable in society much longer than
it's been unacceptable, and that it became unacceptable when it was no
longer beneficial to the economic ruling classes.

As I said: A Marxist.
