I really could say a lot about this particular topic -- unfortunately I would upset people very near and dear to my heart with my opinion :-(. So, somethings shall be better left unsaid....
But if "Silence of the lambs" was written from Hannibal Lector's viewpoint -- it wouldn't not be published. That is just to disturbing -- but very interesting to profilers and psychologist in general. See how a disturb mind works.
The insight that can be gained through people's writing is for students of psychology really amazing -- and that's why it is best to always censor yourself (I know you guys don't believe in censorship), because what sounds innocent to oneself might be offensive to someone else at best -- at the worst giving someone else a really good luck into ones subconscious (it). And that might get one labeled in a not so positive way.
Know I will stop I have already said too much.......
