- I STRONGLY disagree with the word "non-consenting". By definition,
- the word "pedophile" comes from the Greek "pedo",meaning child, and
- "phile",meaning loving or friendly. A TRUE pedophile would never harm
- a child or force him to do something against his will any more than an
- audiophile would destroy a beautiful recording. Unfortunately,the word
- is used to describe a man like Wesley Dodd,who murdered young boys,and
- a man who fondles a boy in a loving and consensual relationship. Am I
- the only one who sees a difference?
