[WikiEN-l] Re: Chillove, pedophilia, NPOV, and Wikipedia

[Mark Richards]

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.
