AnnieW - thanks for reminding me; I had forgotten the leaked story about "blindfolded women". I honestly wasn't bringing up the gay/kinky angle to disparage Ivins. I'm just interested in making sense of his behavior and was doing so, as I caveated, via wild conjecture.
Ilyonnoc's post regarding porn and Catholic guilt was especially enlightening. I can see now how someone with a profile possibly matching Ivins' - private, solitary, work-oriented and yes, depressed and possibly guilt-ridden - might be driven to suicide without throwing anything else into the mix.
I'm glad, too, to see other posters picking up on the Spertzel article I linked to back on page 5, though I do think his broader conclusions about the possible source of the spores are dubious.
