I have a minor fascination with a certain topic, and have done some research into that topic. However, there is one thing which falls into the topic which I will not research. What is it and why? I = me (Balin) | ||

Is the topic published in scientific journals? Do "They2" practice their hobby where "They1" live? Did you know that the thing fell into the topic before you started researching the topic? Did you know that you wouldn't research the thing before you started researching the topic? Is your reason for not researching the thing a choice that you made? That someone else made? Is it an intrinsic impossibility? Would it please you to research the thing? Please someone else? Or the opposite: would it please you or someone else if you don't research the thing? Would it be useful? For you? Someone else? | ||

Have they1 and they2 ever met? If so, do they meet regularly? as part of their jobs maybe? Would most people object to researching this thing? or is it something only you are against researching? The reason why you don't want to research that thing, is it because you don't want to read about in general? some spesific aspect of it? | ||

Do you research the people, but not the murders? Not a certain aspect of the murders? Did They2 kill They1? Did one of They2 kill They1? Is the killing the hobby/job? Were others murdered outside of the three you include in the research? Was the killing done under the guise of legality (for example an execution or lynch mob)? Or was it in fact legal?

The genre of crime you were looking for: murder? lynch? racial persecution? other? Any type, but mostly involving murder. Were you researching reasons why people commit crimes? circumstances in which people commit crimes? something else in particular? Nothing this specific by the way, what - besides the exact event you refrain from exploring - is missing? I don't feel good with googling answers... Only the event is missing, and since Kaygee e-mailed the correct answer, I suppose I can place the **********SPOILER********** I have a fascination with true crime, and enjoy reading stories about actual crimes, as well as the work done to catch the criminals. However, I will not research the July 2007 Cheshire home invasion murders, because one of my classmates knew one of the girls who was killed, and I feel too much of a personal connection. If you happen to be interested, there's a Wikipedia article; however, it has a comma in the title, so I can't post it here due to formatting. Nice work everyone - again, a lot of you worked on this (Redwine, Doriana, Kaylee...I could go on and on naming people). Points also go to Kaygee, who emailed the right answer. | ||
