I have seen posts like this before, at other sites I belong to, I think it just phishing, I wouldn't bother with the person at all.

I was thinking the same thing. It could be someone who is trying to get off.

This thread was auto-closed by the system because the original post was attracting negative reputation.

Frankly, I agree with the closure. Even assuming the poster is being honest (something I never assume when dealing with journalists, due to previous bad experiences), I still don't think it would be a good idea for anyone to respond to this ad. Why? Bluntly put, the general public is not yet ready to accept ABDLs, and it will be some time before they are. Until this time, I feel that any articles done by the mainstream media, even positive ones, will have a largely negative effect on the ABDL community. ABDLs aren't doing anything wrong, but that doesn't matter, the public has a great capacity for hating anything that is different to them or that they don't understand. Even if this journalist is being honest and acting in good faith, there is no assurance that an editor won't turn a fair article into an unfair one in the interests of selling more papers. Beyond this, there is no assurance that the readers of these papers will take the time to read it properly instead of just going "yuck! diaper fetishists! there ought to be a law against that, its not normal!".

Until the general public are willing to think about ABDLism rationally, as opposed to simply having a gut reaction along the lines of "it is different, therefore it must be bad", I suggest that no ABDLs should agree to be represented in the media. Some things humanity as a whole is just not ready for yet.
