Well my first thought of his name reminded me of this Saturday Night Live episode when they were doing a paraody of Jeporady. "I'll take the rapist for 200 Alex"
I can see why people would be offended/scared. I'm not trying to be insensitive at all, cause well I can understand why The Rapist might bring back bad memories for some. But then again this is a BDSM forum, a BDSM library forum where many people here are into rape fantasies...it's a no win situation I guess.
