Yeah, I didn't intend to create tension--sorry.
I appreciate the poetic explanation you gave, Silver. I didn't mean to disparage you in a personal way.
In retrospect I probably reacted a little more strongly than I intended to with my comment. I had a really hard time with succubus attacks in my teens and early twenties. I wasn't strong enough or informed enough to deal with it and it probably left me with a little bit of an attitude about them (I consider incubus and succubus to be different polarities of the same criter). I was very lucid during many attacks and generally aware that something unwholesome and unwanted was happening. Later, I learned to zap them with a bolt of blue lightning which causes them to implode. I haven't had a visit from one for more than a decade now--I think word gets around.
So I guess that in my subconscious, the words incubus or succubus are analogous to "rapist". I reacted to someone who appeared to be celebrating such distinction. I'm fairly aware that Silver Incubus is probably a nice person who I wouldn't mind going fishing with or discussing music with.
Peace.
