The following is a quote from Randwulf's latest submission about how he
uses metaphysical forces to protect himself from violence by surrounding
himself with an aura of "crazy" violence.

She has to make him mad enough to hit her before his sexual affections can be
engaged? One seldom sees so bald a statement of the connection between sex
and violence, or so blatant an assignment of the responsibility for male sexual
violence to the female against whom it is directed. No wonder Randwulf has
no sympathy for victims. Did this statement make sense to other male subscribers
to net.women? Is Randwulf's "crazy act" closer to reality than he may think,
or is he just more honest?
