The moron I was talking about had admitted to consuming CSAM in a group of people, I have no clue if he'd done anything else or has since, and knowing I failed to do anything about him I don't want to think about it too much.

The 'putting words in my mouth' was reffering to your insistence I'd made a general claim of 'killing pedos is moral' and not that 'it would be a solution if they refuse help and that seems likely to me, having dealt with one and tried to convince them to seek it'.

Comparing concerns of pedos to those of drag queens in any way whatsoever rubs me the wrong way on its own, and even then it's not the same, given pedophiles are actually a threat to children. Being concerned about your neighbour spontaneously exploding is dumb, fearing the same from a person who just drank 5 liters of 100% nitroglycerin before climbing on a trampoline is actually ok, methinks (best analogy ever, I know). I think it is absolutely on an otherwise mentally healthy pedophile to overcome their 'fear' and seek help, so much so I don't care what happens to them if they refuse to.

Again, I am willing to defer to experience where quantitative data is definetively unachievable to make my assumptions. I'm not writing a paper about it, but I'll gladly state it with confidence in conversation when I think I have more insight than the majority of people. When my parents told me not to stick my fingers in an outlet as a kid I listened, even though there were no studies proving 230 Volts kill 5 year olds... and the existence of reliable scientific data on these two topics is about equally unlikely.

I don't know if ypu're still interested, I was busy and kinda lost interest in this conversation.

I am glad that I now understand a bit better where you're coming from, my assumption that the pedophile you were talking about was non-offending was a mistake on my part. The reference to drag queens was not about the actual danger they present (which is as far as I know not significant) but about the perceived danger, which is unfortunately quite there, but it was based on a wrong assumption, at least in this case.

Now I am still not sure about your initial statement, I don't know which country you are from so that makes it a bit difficult to know what the justice system is there. Or acces to therapy for that matter.

(In my country (the Netherlands) you'd end up in prison if you actually do that, and to be fair, I wouldn't blame my country's justice system for doing that.)
