      Me too. I'm happy to give up the term pedophile as being inexact if it is replaced by terms that aren't euphemistic.

      No, your piece argued something different, that "Epstein appears to be a regular old abuser"

          "regular old abuser" ≠ "child rapist." Should be easy to understand.

          That wasn't what you mentioned when you tweeted about the piece originally.

          Lol you are a trip, man. He is an abuser, not a pedophile, and if you read the piece before you tweeted it, (sans link) you would see why the distinction is important.

          Hebephile equates to pedophile under the law. Do keep up.

          Are we really going to get this caught up in semantics over Jeffery Epstein? So he's a child rapist but not necessarily a pedophile. Great! We all seem to agree so why are we all so pissed off?

          some of us think Katie may listen. Twitter is not where reflection but reaction happens. (The Cow Laughs and says moi'si!) But rereading may happen. Violations of postpubescent personhood have for very long subject to humor. How horrible to those who have been damaged.
