Pendleton -- I think this terribly minimizes the depth of his depravity. . .this "sad" guy who hadn't had sex with his wife
was a heinous murderer. . .I really hate the way you paint him! o so considerate of his wife! really! and what of those
he raped! you sound so empathetic with him and no mention of his victims! sorry to get riled up but geez. . .
''Over time I've understood that many people can't do that. Apparently I can. It upsets me sometimes and it's also one of the reasons I left this board for a year. I'm not saying I empathize with them, I'm just saying I can put aside all emotion when I look at them. They, like you and I are the human animal. We can choose not to understand them or we can choose to try. If we choose to try and understand them, there must be a bridge. Something we can relate to'
I have a similar problem, I relate to my poi and sometimes there's an area where it looks suspiciously like I champion him which I sincerely don't. It has something to do with an understanding that is on another level. I hope that makes some sense to somebody.
