Maybe I should drop in here to clarify.  I didn't mean to imply that Kevin 
and Scott are scary.  Just feeling angry at Pete doesn't mean they're going 
to jump him at the next concert and demand an apology, or stalk him around 
his neighborhood or anything like that.  There are some other fans who also 
report that it's difficult to defend Pete's actions in this case.  It's led 
me to think about it a little, and I think the best answer I can come up 
with in one paragraph is that Pete is one of those artists who can predict 
the future.  When he was concerned about this in 1997, he was predicting the 
concern that we're feeling about the issue today, and also the concerns that 
law enforcement is dealing with now.

Anyway, I might as well post what I was referring to as "scary."  Hold on to 
your hats here, and check their "celebrity" list:

If nothing else, this should give us a feel for what Pete is dealing with, 
and who he's talking to when he mentions he's got a bodyguard.  If anyone 
would like to write to these guys in Pete's defense, I've got a couple of 
email addresses:

noncewatch@xxxxxxxxxxxx

admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx

I'd suggest polite, reasonable communications of your feelings about Pete 
and what he's done for fans and for children's charities, etc.  I've chatted 
back and forth with a couple or three of the guys there, and they're very 
rightist but also seem genuinely concerned about child welfare.
