:::You might want to read [[pedophilia]] and [[sexual orientation]] before repeating that second sentence. "Pedophile" doesn't mean "child molestor", just as "homosexual" doesn't mean "homosexual-rapist", and "heterosexual" doesn't mean "heterosexual-rapist". Many child molestors aren't pedophiles, just as many men who rape other men in prison aren't homosexuals; rape is very often a crime of opportunity. -- [[User:Ben|<span title="Formerly ''Benedict the Moor''">'''''Ben'''''</span>]]&ensp;<small>^{[[User talk:Ben|'''TALK''']]}/_{[[Special:Contributions/Ben|'''HIST''']]}</small> 05:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

::::When you're protecting your reputation, that distinction becomes meaningless. &mdash;'''[[User:MichaelLinnear| <font face="Centaur Festive MT Italic"> <font color="black">Michael</font><font color="red">Linnear</font></font>]]''' 05:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

:::::The distinction between someone's actually committing a crime and being ''mistaken'' for a criminal? Why, obviously you're right, that's a meaningless distinction. So you'll have no objection when you're blocked or banned because someone else mistakes ''you'' for a criminal, like, say, a fellow traveller of Marxists, right? -- [[User:Ben|<span title="Formerly ''Benedict the Moor''">'''''Ben'''''</span>]]&ensp;<small>^{[[User talk:Ben|'''TALK''']]}/_{[[Special:Contributions/Ben|'''HIST''']]}</small> 06:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

::::What's wrong with just asking them to keep their inner lives to themselves? That way, no one will be put in the position of judging it.

:::::Yes, well, the same for all other deviations from majority positions, whether sexual, religious, political, or aesthetic. -- [[User:Ben|<span title="Formerly ''Benedict the Moor''">'''''Ben'''''</span>]]&ensp;<small>^{[[User talk:Ben|'''TALK''']]}/_{[[Special:Contributions/Ben|'''HIST''']]}</small> 06:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

::::As for homosexuals, atheists, etc. (per your list), I hardly think these comparable, but even so, Wikipedia is not a forum for self-expression, so what's the downside of removing that which others find controversial? The mere existence of reasonable controversy should be enough to support removal.[[User:Proabivouac|Proabivouac]] 05:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

:::::And do you now ''deny'' that homosexuality, atheis, paganism, left-wing politics, et all, have been matters of ''controversy''? If userpages must not contain any ''controversial'' position, then userpage policy has indeed changed drastically today. -- [[User:Ben|<span title="Formerly ''Benedict the Moor''">'''''Ben'''''</span>]]&ensp;<small>^{[[User talk:Ben|'''TALK''']]}/_{[[Special:Contributions/Ben|'''HIST''']]}</small> 06:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

:Nope, but I will repeat what I said. Pedophilia is a statement of criminal intention. Clear? Your comparing them to homosexuals in prison would be considered highly offensive in said prisins, that is why pedophiles need special protection, [[User:SqueakBox|SqueakBox]] 05:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
