Both groups have a long history of dumbasses at the helm leading to incidents of self-destruction. The private activities of their participants cast a bad shadow on the intentions of the organization as a whole. If you're the webmaster of BoyChat and get arrested by the FBI then it projects all of that persons non-BC related activities as being a product of the organization. In NAMBLA's case they were at one time an organization with many chapters throughout the US. As the 80's progressed more and more incidents occurred with their members fucking something up in their personal lives that reflected on NAMBLA as a group. But also about that time the media got involved and so began the sensational news reports. NAMBLA trusted too many people to fill positions that enabled them to access membership lists and the like. Mike Echols got hold of a membership list which he published on his website. An FBI undercover agent was elected to their Board of Directors. After two years undercover in NAMBLA the FBI had to invent a trip to Mexico under the pretext of having sex with boys to finally catch some NAMBLA members doing illegal things. BoyChat and FreeSpirits have experienced their own sort of self-destruction with a succession of whacked webmasters-one who killed his YF-and treasurers running off with funds. They've been more destructive to themselves than any undercover spy could have ever been. The last final blow that has left BoyChat practically a deserted wasteland was the trumped up legal fight that had everyone convinced the pedos were going to win. When that didn't happen participation at BC dropped like a brick of lead tied to a falling anvil. So yes, do tell us more about this mythical world where sex with minors has been legal since 2005. |
