No. No. it's the loss, to you that I am worried about, not just the loss to the "deviant". Take it back 60 years. You are a nice, conventional british academic and you learn from the London Security Camera system that you pal, Alan Turing is a "deviant". Put yourself in the mindset of that time. What do you do?

It is not surprising that criminals, deviants, and unstable humiliated people populate every community. There is inequity in the world. If people can't find a purpose or acceptable identity in their lives, then drug & sex addiction, magical thinking, and exploitation of others provide some pleasure and sense of control. Meanwhile, it also should not come as any surprise that individuals in a society can learn how to play along and give the appearance of `normal'. The popular use of the Internet simply brings a little more in to the light what was always there: Lots and lots of troubled and mentally-ill people. It's important to make people look at it.
