I’m sorry, I’m new honestly, and I’m not trolling. I thought I might have that sort of reaction. Sorry about the word count I also didn’t know the distinction between discussion and main post. Expect not to have similar problems with me in the future.
It’s not that it’s too many words for a discussion post. There is no particular word limit. It’s too many words, and too overwrought, for what it’s saying, which is simply the often-made point that overreaction to child abuse scares can itself be damaging; along with staring hard enough at something in plain sight that it vanishes, as in the adjacent thread on the meaning of life.
How did you arrive at LessWrong, and why did you choose to write this as your first posting here?

Moral judgements against pedophilia are “completely un-beneficial”? And they are “hiding”? No-one openly expresses them? What planet did you just arrive from?
