Dear Suellen Stringer-Hye,
I agree with you. If Centerwall has labeled VN himself as a pedophile, he
had neither right nor reason to do so. The only part of the theory that
interests me is the possibility that VN had been himself molested as a
child. That unfortunately makes devastating sense which I should hasten to
add, doesn't make it true.
