      Despite the fact that he has said he agrees with the positions of the organization, you think he was lying, and it's likelier that he started working for them out of purely mercenary motivations? Just to get that sweet part-time, non-profit comms paycheck?

      Okay, let's stipulate he believes in organizations agenda (although I remain skeptical he believes anything). His beliefs are still distinct from being pedophile (which is a matter not of ideas by of psychology & action). That's our disagreement here.

      So you've spent all day getting on your high horse and arguing with people over the distinction between "pedophilia advocate" and "pedophile?" Remember, at any point, you are free to just say: "maybe I misjudged this debate and shouldn't have weighed in the way I did"

      I feel like a few minutes reflection should make clear why we maintain the distinction between being "x advocate" and "x practioner."

      You are conflating "abuser" and "pedophile." But that's not what this was about: you guys were up in arms that people dared call Berlatsky a pedophile. You think it's out-of-bounds to call someone who works for a place that recruits 13yos to "MAP support groups" a pedophile?

      Replying to @Trillburne @lionel_trolling and

      Yeah, I feel like working for an organization like Prostasia is bad enough that you don't need to throw in other language that, in common parlance, does in fact mean abuser. Characterizing Berlatsky accurately is already devastating.

      Replying to @HeerJeet @lionel_trolling and

      Just to be clear, you're sticking to your guns here? It is an unconscionable crime against discourse to call someone who works for Big Pedophile a pedophile because they may not have personally abused children, and that's what the word means "in common parlance?"

      Yeah, I'm sticking to my gun that serious accusations require proof, even if (or especially if) they are made against people who are really bad and can be accurately accused of other things.

      We've been over this, you're making a strawman here, no one made a specific allegation of abuse against Berlatsky. You don't get to make up your own definitions of words and then condemn other people for not observing them

      Seems pretty clear to me that you were like "methinks the Br*enigs are leading another problematic dirtbag left lynch mob," the details proved you wrong, but now you can't back down, so you're throwing out these dumb semantic arguments like a cloud of squid ink. Very sad!

      This kind of supports my theory that people are reacting to the story in terms of pre-existing personal vendettas rather than trying to accurately characterize Noah's words & actions (which, to be clear, are terrible enough in their own terms).
