It was never about protecting young Wikipedians.

Discussion of my ban in 2007, which also highlights the futility of anti-c 'activism'.

Well that's fine as there is nothing about not discriminating against criminals. Pedophilia is not a sexual orientation its a statement of criminality. We wouldnt dream of describing the criminal intent of the rapist as a sexual orientationso so this anti-discrimaination statement is wildly inappropriate here

There are some absurdities among those comments. I would have had a lot of fun pointing out that this stuff could ideally fall under defamation, and such statements could even be considered criminal in some states. But not the self-identification as a pedophile, since there's a distinction between pedophilia in psychology and pedophilia as a crime, and they don't always overlap. I’d also like to point out that rape fantasies are part of a person’s sexuality and, ideally, they would also fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella as a kink.

He’s obviously a victim of “The Push”. I think I’ve talked to him on Virped.

I remember talking to him on the forum. He was very outspoken on being a Virped in public l.

What is "The Push"?

(Yes, its really me.)

Do you have a public account you can use to verify you're Connor Weston?

[Jim Burton]

Connor has not posted in his thread on Virped, and is very likely to still be in custody due to his mental health and perceived risk level (posting there is one way he can prove it really is him, as he is a Virped member with a known account handle).

I understand that you want to verify his identity, but at this moment he's just asking a simple question.

[Jim Burton]

Well, he made the claim here, so verifying ownership of the Virped account (where people are still ruing his absence) shouldn't be so hard.

I should also mention that what appears to be his account has become active on another peer-support forum just a few days ago.

My parents paid my bail. I was banned from VirPed a day after my arrest and can no longer access my account there.

[Jim Burton]

I believe you also posted identically on B4U-ACT from an account you had long operated (since before Virped) - you should get in touch with Virped - users there believe you are still incarcerated.

The term "push" simply refers to a person being driven over the edge with respect to their mental health and lashing out. Like with MAPs, when you have them cornered like a small animal and society wants to torture them, it is not too surprising to find they lash out. I'm not sure if it just amounts to firearms offenses with your defense, or if there is something related to wreckless endangerment, but for the latter it might be worth mentioning that others have written on the topic of MAP mental health and carrying out extreme acts.
