The statement "no adult-child sex in today's world" can be made in a way that it doesn't condemn adult-child sex altogether.

I don't see how you think I did that. In what way does it condemn adult-child sex altogether? It focuses on the interplay of secrecy and mandated reporting. I'm laying out some facts and likely consequences. People who disagree say why. I am starting from what I take to be the shared values and understandings in this community and basing the argument on those alone. I have had disagreements with many people about many things, but to my knowledge, none of them are in that message, except maybe that a girl will do fine without the sex.

You claim to speak for all GC'ers and then blatantly misrepresent the nuances of many the views here.

I said the fellow posters condemn the activity, though I did not say their reasons were the same as mine. Most people here assure me all others condemn this, though Hierophant implies things might not be as they seem and some people here might hold different views and would express them if the rules allowed them to.

If you're going to disagree, then disagree.

Disagree with what?

I don't assume people here are criminals, and I don't assume people here will become criminals,

Did you read the beginning of the message? "If you're clear that adult-girl sexual activity today is something you would never engage in, then you need read no further. I have been assured that all the old-timers here know this already."

"Criminal" is a judgmental word and not one I used anywhere.

Hierophant seems to imply that some people here might not believe that adult-child sex is a bad idea in today's world. Wouldn't it be logical for such people to engage in such activity if suitable opportunity arose? That's all hypothetical, since Hierophant was maybe just speculating or maybe was wrong.

You could have fulfilled that obligation of yours in a way that wasn't going to offend the majority of posters here.

Please, give me your ideas! I am eager to find a better way to say it.

The first time I posted this I urged anyone who was more central to the community to post some version of the message, since the need to abstain is supposed to be universally shared. No one was interested.
