Pierre, mis-representing what I have said and putting your own "spin" on it is *not* a way to conduct a reasoned debate.

Just because you dismiss the point because of your own reasons/feelings makes the point no less valid.

What?!
You introduced "PC" into this discussion, yet what was being discussed was nothing to *do* with so-called Political Correctness, it is to do with *human rights*.

Yes, and some are willing to lynch them or castrate them or even murder them. Of course if you end up with the occasional Paediatrician getting hurt in the cross-fire, I'm sure you can accept that as being regrettable, but acceptable as part of the "greater good" too...

Not sure what you mean there, but if you are referring to an "innocent" person being wrongly accused and convicted of a crime, then that is matter for the courts.

No, I am talking about cases such as that of Dr Yvette Cloete, a specialist registrar in paediatric medicine at the Royal Gwent hospital in Newport, who was forced to flee her house after vandals daubed it with graffiti in the middle of the night because they didn't know the difference between "paediatrician" and "paedophile".

Of course, that is a matter for the courts. Those responsible for this act should be locked up!

Oh by the way talking of Spin on quotes etc. I dont think you'll find that I have anywhere mentioned castration or lynching. I have only talked about jail terms. Again Pot kettle black etc........

Let me quote your words:
"[...] sometimes we have make tough decisions for the greater good. If that means that people that violate children [snip emotive stuff] lose their human rights. Then that is something I am willing to accept."
You are talking about it being *ACCEPTABLE* for people to "lose their human rights" and those who advocate castration or lynching etc would most certainly agree with you.
Pots? Kettles? Not around here...
