Rape in RP (was Re: [Discuss] Status ?)

[Edwin Niemans]

I don't know if you were talking to me, but I did not refere to this case.
This case was just about all the bad things that happened to your
character in general. I don't mind that.

I referred to the ones that like to do it and discribe their actions in
detail. Raping was/is part of war strategy, there is no denying that.
Still happening over at Irak, Sudan and other countries right now.

But children are playing here to and we should prevent perverts comming
here enacting there fantasy's. We still do have our common sence to
recognize them, don't we?
