So he doth protest too much. After reading up on your own abuse scandal, no wonder you lost custody of your kids and your wife had to move away. As a survivor of CSA and having dealt with my father's denial and "false accusation" accusation-- I know there's a special place in hell for you. Vile.

Surely there are less humiliating ways to solicit attention.

Most of these hate comments appear to be coming from the same guy, so apparently I'm living rent-free in his head. 

I'm used to this, of course. Twelve years on this blog, nearly 15 Million page views, 6,000+ posts and 70,000 comments - dealing with some of the most terrible stuff and getting shot at by haters through it all. 

I call them "haters," but a better word is "cowards." A self-respecting, strong person would contact me with a real name and explain his or her differences. And who knows, I might be convinced. But instead these cowards hide in the bushes behind "anonymous" and throw stones. 

It's been awhile though since I've received this level of hate: "there's a special place in hell for you." 

That seems a bit extreme for my thoughts about the Epstein thing. So I'm quite sure it wasn't what I said about Epstein that tripped this guy's trigger, but what I said about the real reason for the clergy sex abuse thing when I said it wasn't pedophilia (given the actual data), and then followed that fact with "I'll let you figure out what it was."

I knew when I wrote that last little "figure it out" thing that it would trigger exactly what this guy is displaying. And I also believe this is what triggered Marc Watanabe to fire me as a featured columnist at the Post. I've written about very controversial topics for two years, but I hadn't touched this particular one until the Epstein column a couple days ago.

The timing was interesting. The Post not only ran my column this past Wednesday, but also touched up a few of my sentences including the "figure it out." I had originally written: "I'll let you figure out what was." I intended the sentence that way. However, the Post inserted the word "it": "I'll let you figure out what it was." 

So whoever was doing the editing had no problem with the column or it wouldn't have run. But then only a few hours later I received the "you're cancelled" email from Marc Watanabe. I've never dealt with Watanabe before, only Paul Charfarous. I'm assuming it was Paul who edited my column and put it in print, and either Watanabe later took personal offense to it or someone with influence got a hold of him.

Anyway, the "it" is a sacred cow, and how dare I call it out. (And I'm still going to let you "figure out what it was.")

Meanwhile though, back to this stuff about my personal case referenced in the first comment. The allegations were not true and things worked out for me in the end - though nothing can ever make up for the trauma my minor children suffered because of it all. The haters and the cowards will pay one day. And I'm not referring to my accusers. I'm referring to the people who paid them.
