I hate the term non-offending pedophile because it implies that most pedophiles are molesters and offend against children and that non-offenders don't do that even though the reality is most pedophiles are non-offending and i hate that we have to make this distinction.

I hate the term, too.

The guy who started the concept needs to be suffocated by a million naked 11 year old boys!

We need to replace it with “chill pedophile”. A guy who may/may not have offended in the past but is trying to be better and not harm anyone.

I think the point he was trying to make was that all PEDOPHILES are not monsters. But if A PEDOPHILE harms A child we are all branded the same way. Which is not true.

You're right, but that doesn't make it any less strange. It's like an immigrant showing up to xenophobes declaring themselves "non-criminal immigrant", as if by default all immigrants were criminals.
