> He said it was okay so long as nobody was coerced. I'm sorry, that's just
never "ok".
That's right, his statement means actually that almost no case of pedophilia
is ok like they happen.
> Although I suppose the really disturbing part is that people like you keep
defending it.
I think you just don't have your emotions under control when we're talking
about this topic.
I'm against any form of doing harm to children and in my opinion, pedophilia
should be forbidden because we can never be sure if a child gets coerced or
not;
but people like you are the reason why we can't even type the word pedophilia
without the fear of being accused of being pedophil;
RMS made a sensible statement which doesn't include anything problematic but
you can't accept anybody talking about the subject in a less emotional way.
I don't think rms is a pedophile or at least this statement doesn't give any
hint for this.
I'm against an atmosphere of fear and restriction of speech when talking
about *any* subject.
This is like in Germany. You can be famous for being an ultra-communist, but
when you mention the word "hitler" and forget to mention giving tribute to
emotions of people by adding words like "terrible, devil, worst on earth"
people will suspect you being a nazi though you didn't say anything in this
direction.
That's the same what happens to rms for his statement, even to me for just
defending what he said.
