Lately I’ve heard about a thread here called “Ask the pedophile”. Anyone know where I can find it? ---

If such a thing existed, I can assure you that it was almost immediately removed immediately followed by a banning. Haj ---

I recall the thread, and it was locked off and the OP banned. It was in Great Debates. My inclination is to guess that it was shipped off to the Great Archive of Incaccessible Threads – in **David B** or **Gaudere** ’s shoes ( **MEBuckner** had not yet ascended to Modhood), that’s what I would have done. ---

Umm… why? I don’t have a foot fetish, but I know some people do, and it’s not _that_ kinky. ---
