It is not clear, that is why I am asking.

As those do not seem to be his affliction, or his interest that raised all the fuss, why pre-empt it?

I already explained upthread that I plan to ask such questions, in particular in a thread that Cesario has already contributed to without drawing any ire, and in that case as he keeps on topic, I value his viewpoint as everyone else’s.

So you plan to go around in threads where Cesario may post to . . . what? Police his conduct? Kinda Javert-like of you, don’t you think?

You might consider leaving the modding to the mods and likewise leaving Cesario alone.

I meant that a simple “no” should be sufficiently clear. The answer to your question is NO, N-O, spells NO. Is this clear? 😉

This is mere nitpicking over a technical distinction. The general issue is attraction to underage individuals. We’re not going to get into a minute parsing of every discussion to see whether it’s veered from discussing slightly post pubescent individuals to pre pubescent.

Since you seem to be having a lot of trouble figuring out what is and is not permitted, I would advise you that when in doubt, don’t post.

This issue should be clear to most everyone by now, certainly it has had more than enough discussion that it’s beyond resolved and is now smack dab in tedious.
