OK, the argument goes that pedophiles are not child molestors, so arguing in favor of pedophilia isn't arguing in favor of a crime. The argument also goes that hey, children can consent, so it's not rape or molestation. But acting on pedophilia is child molestation and IS a crime in any court I know of, and thus arguing that pedophilia is all right is justifying - like it or not - child molestation and statuatory rape. In essence the thread has numerous arguments in favor of criminal behavior. Isn't that sort of thing prohibited?

As was ruled before, simply talking about it isn't against the rules. Advocating it is, so if there's a specific post you want to draw attention to, have at it, but in general it's unpleasant but not against the rules.

We don't censor neo-Nazis, we're not going to censor NAMBLA.
