Except that we weren't talking about any real people. You were so busy being offended that you missed the part where that entire story was based on an author writing a book to push a moral panic. Stories like that are one step above a hoax at best.
Ever since that thread, you have taken it upon yourself to play the role of CP's conscience. And that is where you have screwed yourself. The first thing you need to learn about the internet is that it has relaxed morals compared to the real world. The entire point, really, is to get away from real world rules and expectations, and as long as you are going to take it upon yourself to shove your morals into our faces, people are going to take it upon themselves to attack those sensibilities. Law of the internet jungle.
And, before I flatter you any further, my initial joke was only partially aimed at you. The BP prostitution joke is an efficient shot at how skanky Edmonton is, and I was playing off the aforementioned moral panic-outrage angle when I chastised Habernac for his deplorable language.
