> They went so far as to call him a pedofile.

I don't want to come to their defence, but perhaps it's because of quotes like:

Especially point two and three.
I really agree with him when he talks about all the other things (bestiality, prostitution etc.) and yeah, those things shouldn't be forbidden as long as no one gets coerced. But when he talks about pedophilia, I wish he had added something like "almost every available child porn is not voluntary and should be forbidden" or a statement like this.
I guess it's a bit of a misunderstanding;
But he really should have stated his opinion a bit more carefully and more clearly.
