I'm flattered that you think I act like a politician. If I did, I would be rich. ;)

Really? Only one person?

I already said this. I hate repeating myself.

If I had wanted to say you were a rapist, I would have said so.

It's interesting -- ironic -- how you blame me for assuming things, when you are assuming what I am saying. To be clearer, you are putting words in my mouth, stating what I implied despite what I specifically stated was my intent.

But, since I'm bored, I'll continue this.

"I was getting sexual favors in exchange for worship."

I'm not clear on what this means. Rather than assume what I think it means, I'll ask you. Do you mean:

1. "They gave me sex so that I would worship them"? I am interpreting your use of the word "exchange" here. This doesn't make sense, since I was referring to fans that worshipped you.

2. "I gave them sex in exchange for their worship of me"? If I had wanted to say that, I would have said it. The quote was about people who "ingratiated" themselves to you, fans who were "protective" of you. (I refer to those words from the original quote. I even used "ingratiated" several times in the post, to ensure its proper meaning.) The quote explicitly refers to these people as initiating the worshipping, or being the sole cause of said acts.

Remember, assumption only serves to make an ass out of you and umption.
