I have no idea though why you think that the mods would care if someone provided a direct link to a thread on http://boards.straightdope.com
How could that cause a board war?
I wasn’t able to search easily from my phone but now I’m at a computer again and so I was able to search the Straight Dope message boards for posts with “cesario” in the post and posted by Mr.Dibble. Quite a few come up so you are correct, it wasn’t very hard. It would have been much more difficult if I had searched somewhere besides http://boards.straightdope.com/ though since obviously the thread in question is at http://boards.straightdope.com/ and not at some other board.
I vaguely remembered the pedophile Cesario, but I had no idea about the Mr Dibble thing until he kept bringing it up here. I got bored enough to do a search and found this thread. It gets especially cringe worthy in page 14 where **Mr Dibble ** starts talking about how children can feel sexual pleasure and how, and I quote:
Oh yeah! I remember that thread. Dibbs came off as rather creepy there. Probably shoulda shut up a lot earlier and never brought it up again, but folks are blind to their own shortcomings, no matter how many times they are beat over the head with them.
While I’m happy to admit that thread wasn’t my finest hour (talk about taking “being accepting” way too far…) I see nothing wrong with saying I’ve been hit on by kids, as it’s the truth. I’d love to know what’s “cringe worthy” about immediately saying how disturbing that was. You know, the bit you conveniently ‘forgot’ to quote:
…and let’s be clear - I never defendedCesario’s paedophilia:
Of course not! Those 86 posts you made in that thread, arguing that people were being unfair to Cesario, could hardly be construed as a defense. More of an enthusiastic observation, really.
And, most importantly, you never implied anyone was a White Knight. I wish I could say the same.
Learn to take good advice, whatever the source. Note that not everybody was here back then, and most that were had forgotten about it until YOU brought it up.
You’re calling Guin a “troll.” If you are lucky, she won’t riposte with “paedophile enabler.” People in glass houses, and all, and I know which I’d rather be.
Whoa, wait a second here. YOU were the one who keeps bringing the whole thing up. Not us. Then, when we say, “hey, you know, maybe it might be a good idea to drop it,” WE’RE the trolls? Okay. Makes sense.
YOU were the one who mentioned Cesario here. No one else. YOU. And if you have a problem with Giraffe and his board, GO OVER THERE and deal with it, rather than trying to start a board war. Otherwise, shut your piehole.
He can’t, he’s too scared of Fenris to post anywhere else on the internet but here…
He’s also an absolute fucking moron, with, as far as I can tell, no redeeming features whatsoever, so, well, actually he’d fit right in over there… But that’s not relevant right now.
