> 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.
