Update: Herostratus says it "was all just a joke". Should we take his word for it? (IMG:

For goodness sake, can't you people recognize a joke when you see one? Under what conditions on this planet is a person "not allowed to view periodicals published after 1960", for crying out loud. Good grief. How about a note to the talk page before a block, hmm? Herostratus (talk) 03:44, 24 February 2010 (UTC)QUOTE(EricBarbour @ Tue 23rd February 2010, 10:07pm)
Would anyone care to explain the following away?
Herostratus
gave a "PAW" barnstar to Will Beback.
What is "PAW"? It's the
Pedophilia Article Watch, of course!
An organization
he created!
And Herostratus
received an award from Arbcom member FloNight and admin DanielCD, and reciprocated.
Interesting timing: according to Tarantino, Herostratus lived in the Boston area.
He
made these edits to his userpage in April 2008. Followed by
this one in June.
Around that time,
this and
this was going on.
Nothing stopping you from calling Judge Flynn or reporter Kerri Roche,
and asking them if Mr. Aucoin was editing Wikipedia.
According to court records, Aucoin had a user profile on an Internet site frequented by pedophiles looking to exploit children.
Aucoin used the screen names "Fred Flint" and "Somf" to chat online with an undercover officer, who posed as a 14-year-old boy using a fictitious photograph, authorities have said.
After a warrant was issued and a computer forensic technician from the North Eastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council examined Aucoin's hard drives, police recovered 131 photographs of naked children and teenagers, some of them engaged in sexual acts.This post has been edited by NotARepublican55:
