The entire point of the pictures is that they mildly (you should see the OKmagazine covers
I DIDN'T use) illustrate what the movement is really about, which is what makes them
so important. I'm sorry that some are offended but remember that the offense stems
from what they represent, which is the same as what the article represents.
I honestly and truly don't understand (especially in the intensity of the reactions)
how anyone could believe that the posting of those images is propoganda in FAVOR of
pedophiles.

Yes, however morally repugnant we and most of the
world might find this, stating that there are some
people who hold this POV and linking to material that
they produce is NPOV. It is not acceptable to pretend
that such people do not exist. We must, of course, put
this in the context of the general feeling in society
that this is reprehensible.

Frankly, I am quite disgusted by this abuse of
our
NPOV policy.
So now wanting to represent a POV is abuse of the
NPOV policy? That's
interesting.
I haven't participated in this discussion so far
because this is a very
sensitive subject, and because I didn't know much
about it until
recently. This discussion got me interested, and I
read some of the
stuff that was linked to in order to inform myself
of the pedophiles'
point of view. It is a very radical point of view,
and one that is quite
contrary to that of society at large, but that only
makes it all the
more important for us to include it. Someone
mentioned early in this
discussion that it would be dangerous for us to make
the impression that
we are somehow endorsing pedophilia, but at the same
time, censoring
this POV would be endorsing society's aversion,
which (apparently)
pedophiles perceive as discrimination and prejudice.
I therefore strongly suggest we keep images that
document this POV (as
long as they don't break any laws, of course).
