The Libertarian candidate in 2008 for Virginia's 1st congressional district and and one of Abd's former mentors [1] had another account blocked August 11 2010.
He recently spent 14 months in prison for threatening to kill the president, and has just now decided not to comply with his conditions of supervised release. His autobiography is here, and the letter sent to his probation officer is here. [1] I had some good mentors early on, most notably an editor known by many names, a long-term Wikipedian who, for his own reasons, kept dropping accounts and starting up new ones, though under (originally) no sanctions. He never used two accounts simultaneously, never went back to old accounts, and all were acknowledged or blatantly obvious, far from concealed. One of the names was Sarsaparilla, it's not hard at all to find another going back about two years before I met him. Older accounts he never revealed even to me, and he had real-life reasons to avoid disclosing them, he claimed. |

The image on Commons that Tisane removed the "child" category from would be, if those were minors, child pornography, because sexual activity is portrayed. Tisane's removal of the category was proper. There is no reason to think that the models were children, or that the portrayal was intended to be of children. http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?t...&action=history You're missing the point of that link. I feel that it's unlikely that Tisane arrived at that image randomly. He must've searched Commons's image or categories for certain keywords. He was searching, and Commons is an enabler for people who want to make such searches. This post has been edited by Michaeldsuarez: |

I feel that it's unlikely that Tisane arrived at that image randomly. He must've searched Commons's image or categories for certain keywords. He was searching, and Commons is an enabler for people who want to make such searches. You imagine that only a pedophile would make such a search. But Tisane was researching pedophilia, and the public response to it. That's utterly obvious. Some people who would search that category would be pedophiles, perhaps. Others might be children themselves. Others would be researching this or that. Others would be just curious. Maybe they saw a reference to the category somewhere (like here). But Tisane had a very obvious purpose. The scariest thing here is not Tisane, it is that people will conclude that someone is a pedophile because they read a page, and, on a wiki, correct an error. I'd imagine that Tisane looked at every image linked from that category. Now, are we going to run a witch hunt on everyone who edited any page in that category? This is all a demonstration of Tisane's point. Once people have an idea about things, they become -- all too often -- unable to see contradiction to it. When I saw these pages, at first I saw quite what everyone else saw. But I had a much larger body of evidence to compare with. He has a poem hosted, and when I saw it, I thought, OMG, there is the smoking gun. So I asked him. And then confirmed his answer. No, he was, again, just collecting evidence on the topic of research, child-adult sex. Contrary to what was claimed on RationalWiki, he did not write that poem. It's actually a very important topic, and one of the things that badly cripples society's response to the problem is the extremity of response. This actually helps maintain harm to children.. |
