Came up with the question after an interaction that happened a few weeks ago. Long story short I said circumcision is bad but female genital mutilation is traditionally much worse. A user went through my comment history. They replied to one stating that I was as evil as the BTK killer and champion child abuse.

Someone called me a deadbeat father because I stopped paying child support... On my now-adult child.

The whole situation is hilarious, now. The issue was, his mother also has four other children, younger than my son. None of these children are mine, I've never even met them. So of course the first month of No More Support, and she's blowing my phone up demanding I keep paying because of the other children. Where are their father(s)?
