I said no one knew or thought he was weird.  I mean everyone's a little weird, of course, but this guy's weirdness was in the normal range. He was not weird around kids.  Didn't seem attracted to them at all.  Had a wife.  She seemed normal too.  Both of them were really nice.

His wife filed for divorce as soon as she could and made sure he would never see their kids again.  And he won't, not until they're 18 anyhow.

You guys really love rushing to conclusions about people.  He lost his wife, his kids, and all of his friends and he'll be on parole basically for the rest of his life, and I think that's a good thing. 

I don't condone his online activity at all.  But it is different from actually touching kids.  Which he did not do, as far as we know today.

The fact that you can't see how this is not any damn different is so [BLEEP] wrong. It does not matter whether he touched them or not. They were abused just the same. He should be in prison.

It's like saying that Maxwell lady was not as bad as Epstein because she didn't sleep with the girls she trafficked. That we know of.

I’ll be open minded enough to agree with that.  But can we all agree that Mikesez is an idiot?

If we were in the same city/state I'd say let's drink to that.
