    This is one of those technical distinctions where if you’re making the distinction, you’re already on the wrong side of everything.

      Psychology and precision in language using the diagnostic terminology of the DSM V is on the wrong side of everything?

      No one is excusing or belittling anything. People who hurt children must fry.

        Yeah, if you’re quoting the DSM V to defend yourself as technically not a pedophile, then yes you’ve crossed the rubicon of decency.

          I’m not defending anyone from anything. Your repeated, blatent and misguided attempts to mischaracterise what’s being said makes me think “He doth protest too much.”.

          It’s the litteral definition of the diagnostic manual from the APA. You may want to book an appointment.
