If you believed you were correct why did you back down & admit you
were wrong ?
I am not aware of backing down. I did not admit I was wrong. What I did was clarify that I believe all pedophiles are abominable.
Two things can be true at the same time. Pedophilia can be classified as a mental health condition, and pedophiles can be thought of as despicable. Pedophiles should be incarcerated, regardless of whether pedophilia is a mental disorder/disease or not.
None of what I said or believe about pedophilia was/is hypocritical.
FYI, you are being hypocritical and deflecting when you employ past issues which have nothing to do with a current discussion.
