Re: A second opinion from other Admins?
I agree that the topic is rather peripheral (at best) to the issues between creationism and evolution. However, we've never let that stop us.
I also agree the the general topic of homosexuality has been over done.
However, Dor has managed to find a specific subtopic that hasn't been done to death and will make a well focussed topic. I'd say approve it.

Topic
I'd have to say that pedophillia is not the topic here. How about we stay on the main topic?
A new topic is, I guess, possible.

topic replies
Sorry Holmes, perhaps topic replies should always be a new post rather than a reply. The intention was not to pick on you just the wandering topic.

Re: topic replies
Since everything is, in the end, connected to everything else it is usually possible to make a case that something novel belongs with the topic that it spun off from.
However, it is still necessary to nip some major departures in the bud. I'm rather confident this is one of those. (And now the discussion of that point is becoming another one.)
Pedophilia is either "obviously" different or not, connected to homosexuality or not. If is is different or not makes no difference to the issue of the harm of homosexuality.
Only if it could be shown that pedophilia is, in some way, linked to homosexuality and it could be shown that pedophilia is harmful would it be, in any way, on topic.
There seems to be general agreement that it is not linked. In that case the harmfulness is not an issue here. If someone wishes to make a case for it being linked as the harm of homosexuality then, you have a case for it's harmfulness or not as being on topic.

Enough of that
Crash and Zac. You can both watch how you're expressing yourselves. A bit more of that and you can learn to talk to each other in Boot camp.
I think in this exchange, Zac, you come off a bit worse but Crash hasn't been doing a very good job either.
Besides, IMHO, you have both gotten to such extreme positions that you are both wrong.
