Yes, that is correct. I consider the position that it is harmful to children to look at their nude body to be ridiculous. If you want to make an assertion that something is true, you must offer some evidence that supports that claim. Do you have any such evidence? I should like to see it. I don't subscribe to the wishy-washy notion of not being able to give my opinion about that of another simply because it is their opinion. Which is what you seem to be implying.

As long as you do not write such a thing in Wikipedia without good attribution of someone whose opinion is relevant, I have no problem with that opinion of yours :)
(you might have not understood I was not speaking of the opinion it was harmful or not harmful, but rather of the comment given about such a position)
Am I clear there, I dunno...
Attribution is always good. I don't have a problem with the opinions of others, if they are in any way founded on some evidence. What I do have a problems with is people pushing unfounded opinions on others. By unfounded I mean "making an assertion as to the truth of a proposition without giving any evidence to support this assertion." We are presently discussing potential policy on the mailing lists, not writing encyclopedia articles, so I don't see how your comment about writing my opinions on Wikipedia is relevant.
