As far as I know, there has been no assertion that the user has edited
Wikipedia in a manner advocating pedophilia (and in fact, edits to
pedophilia-related articles were examined and found to be neutral).

Obviously, not all of us are certain that this was "the right thing."

Virtually all of them are the creation of since-deleted redirects and
disambiguation pages.  I recall the massive disruption that they
caused (and Tyciol's stubborn insistence that the community was wrong
about their harmfulness) and view this as a much stronger rationale
for a ban than what is currently under discussion.
