There is no "a place".

"I would ever feel welcomed in a place that considers me a pedophilia enabler,"

the "place" does not consider anything or believe anything. There are 47 star members who have me on ignore and 49 blocking PMs from me, and yet "the place" does not have me on ignore - only many of the members do. Some members say some things and they may even get dozens of recs for saying it, but that is not a statement from "the place". Just an opinion of some of the people who post here.

The place does not agree 100% on anything.

Except maybe that the Jets still suck. There IS widespread, nearly unanimous agreement on that.
