			::::::: I have links to a great deal of information about Kevin Brown, as well as on other posters, including martirwithacause.

			::::::: Kevin Brown's history is particularly tragic! The "system" steamrolled him, and almost completely destroyed his life. He eventually did receive some recompense, but not nearly sufficient to make up for all that he lost.

			::::::: It would take a lot of work to do the research for activist articles, and to write the articles. And some of the information (though factual, and with links to demonstrate the truthfulness of any claims being made) may tend to be quite controversial.

			::::::: There are powerful forces at work to suppress information -- the truth -- about certain "activist" posters from becoming public knowledge, perhaps due to a wish to suppress those poster's activist work, and to protect certain other people from "embarrassment" (not from ''real harms''). Some people do not like their faults, their mistakes, or their prejudices, to be publicly aired. [[User:User4\|User4]] ([[User talk:User4\|talk]]) 22:30, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

			:::::Yes, "MAA" refers to a Minor Attracted Adult. The material was created by [[Kevin Brown]], an activist with a long history at BoyChat. Unfortunately, I hesitate to do an article on him -- some people do not like the history of posters being given -- even though the history is all on line, and available for everyone to see!

My mistake. And I should not have so quickly tagged the article for deletion, either. Making threats like that is wrong. Another "My mistake." Nobody is perfect ;) ... Live and learn...

			::: I do have one question, though. I still don't know what an "MAA website" is? Minor attracted adult?

			::: Anyway, thanks for the article. I'm sure it will be useful for those wishing to be "activists"!
