Yes, I am the person you're thinking of. But vigilantes are not the government. In fact, vigilantism is illegal, though not very effective unless the vigilantes are actually caught breaking the law. Even so, the authorities were tolerant of anti-pedo vigilantism and often unwilling to prosecute them during the Perverted Justice era (probably the height of the moral panic), and even worked with them to some extent. But, as with all such groups, PJ eventually imploded from its own excesses and overzealousness. PJ is basically defunct at this point; we, however, are still here.
