On Pedophillia and Homosexuality

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Also, Baldanders is really old and despite his prolonged adolescent growth, he doesn't seem to have the teenage horniness one might expect, so he could be "done" or just have a low sex drive.

I figured that Baldanders had long ago learned to channel his energies into studies that would increase his longevity and power.  Or, to quote the punchline of an old but good joke:

"I'm an engineer.  I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is pretty cool."
