Let us transpose the argument we have together.  Your basic supposition is that we should trust x’s essential truthfulness and self-control and mine is that he has not actually had much, that to have a longstanding association with the stuff he loves, he cannot possess sufficient self-control or honesty be trusted.

I understand very well the difference between your position and mine; your cause and mine.  Now please allow me the dignity to disagree without maligning my character for wanting to protect children.  Let me reiterate:  I think children should be protected from x  from all people like x, who look at the objectification of children as a source of pleasure.

Heartbreaking.
