Okay, I've clearly misunderstood your comments in this thread.  Just to 
make things ultra crystal clear, then: you agree that Mr Peppers' 
criminal conviction actually has no relevance whatsoever in the argument 
over whether or not an article about the fellow violates some ideal of 
human dignity, and therefore should never have been mentioned?

If you do agree, then I must have completely misread the thrust of your 
arguments, and I apologise.
