Hey Tlatosmd, thanks for your contributions to the Pedophile activism article. It's nice to have someone knowledgeable editing it. JayW 19:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Hirschfeld

Do you have a cite on the coinage of "ephebophilia" by Hirschfeld? DanB†DanD 21:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, only copied it from the German entry on ephebophilia. However based on that cited date, I'd be pretty sure that it relates to his journal called Jahrbuch für sexuelle Zwischenstufen, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Homosexualität ("Journal of Sexual Transitions, in pronounced consideration of homosexuality"). --TlatoSMD 20:49, 20 January 2007 (CEST)

I have heard quite a number of different unsourced origins for "ephebophilia." I'm no more confident that the German Misplaced Pages has it right than that we had it right before! DanB†DanD 04:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

chronophilia

You would need a citation to call into question the scientific validity of DSM etcetera. Perhaps you should just add a see also section. Lotusduck 23:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC) IPCE is not a reviewed journal. As an organization it is only a reliable source on the IPCE. Lotusduck 19:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

IPCE is only the online re-publisher of the material. The source is Dr. Frits Bernard as he's published his data across Europe in a number of languages (English, Dutch, German), books, and scientific peer-reviewed journals (such as The Journal of Sex Research, no. 3, 1975) in 1975, 1979-1982, 1985, and 2002. The only problem about IPCE might be copyright issues. TlatoSMD 11:31, 20 March 2007 (CEST)

Les Amities

Hi "Georges is 17, while Alexandre is 10, and their relationship lasts for all of Georges's time in high-school until Georges is 20" Are you sure about this? I haven't watched the movie for a year or so, but I don't remember Georges being this old. He is certainly, as you say, older than in the book. Samll pooint - not sure you should use the American expression 'High School'. Tony 12:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC)Tony

I'm going by the German dub released to theaters not before 1970 actually (not a frankophone here), where Georges's age is mentioned in the beginning by his father. The expression high school might be critizizable though, even though they explicitly use the German secular school equivalents Oberstufe ("high school") for Georges and Unterstufe ("lower grade" = classes/grades 5, 6, and 7) for Alexandre. You can also find Georges's age of 17 here on the site of Franco-German TV channel Arte that has recently broadcasted the film (see the sentence, George de Sarre ist 17 Jahre alt, als er zum ersten Mal von zu Hause fort in ein Jungeninternat geschickt wird. = "George de Sarre is 17 years old when he first leaves home as his parents send him to a boarding school."). On a minuscule issue, I find it a better explanation than in the book as to why he responds reservedly to the homosexual affairs of his peers, at least this way it's more obvious why he does, which might be why Peyrefitte himself probably didn't object to the change when it came to the adaption. --TlatoSMD 02:21, 23 March 2007 (CEST)

Message from the IP 193.35.133.151

are you a nonce? -- 193.35.133.151, 13:36, 22 May 2007 (not self-identified, had to be identified by page history)

Going by my dictionary, you're asking me if I'm either an occasion or a homosexual? Sorry, statements of personal sexual interest result in deletion of user account on Misplaced Pages, as several instances regarding self-identifying homosexuals evidence. And no, I'm not offering, as this is not a dating service. --Tlatosmd 13:42, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Kingdom of Germany

When you present an argument on Misplaced Pages that you are loosing through weight of numbers, the best tactic is to side step the issue. If your argument was to be successful then an WP:ADF would need to be raised, and the chances are at the moment that you would not gain 75% consensus for deletion. But if a change of name could accomplish the same thing, then problem solved! But "while it would have to be re-written as a piece on the personal title" may be true, stating the obvious, when there are others who hold contrary views and need to be persuaded that a new name is in everyone's interests, does not help. FYI a nonce in UK slang is a child molester. --Philip Baird Shearer 16:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Aesir-Asura correspondence

That was not my comment. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 13:27, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I've corrected it now. --Tlatosmd 13:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 13:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Bob and Macca

There is no point being a Dylan fan if you insist on putting others down to make Dylan seem worthier. He wouldn't like it, y'know... --andreasegde 18:03, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I didn't make that casual remark as a particular Dylan fan, in fact I personally prefer each part of the Four-Headed Monster (as Mick Jagger used to call them) to Bob while not exactly despising him either. It just occurred to me that he's obviously started this recent trend of superstars in pop music suddenly getting into being radio hosts. --Tlatosmd 06:18, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

re: Repressed memory, etc.

I agree that these pages look obviously "owned" by single-purpose POV editing accounts like User:Abuse truth (the username doesn't even try to hide it), but unfortunately I don't really have the time/energy to fight with them at the moment. Hopefully someone will, and thanks for pointing it out. --Delirium 18:10, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Critique of SqueakBox's Editing Practices

To tell you the truth, I'm actually kind of sad that you didn't quote me in your recent critique of SqueakBox's editing behavior on the Talk Page for the Adult-child sex article. Still, kudos for stepping up to point out some of the follies in this editor's editing practices. However, that Talk Page may not be the best place for this critique - you may want to move this particular discussion SqueakBox and you are having to a User Talk Page, either his or yours. ~ Homologeo 07:05, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Is that what you think it is? Anyway it is inappropriate on the talk page for adult-child sex. Thanks, SqueakBox 07:15, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry for leaving you out User:Homologeo, actually I myself are so enraged at SqueakBox's ignorant as well as arrogant tactics that it's hard for me to think clearly. I'm also rather afraid that it's exactly these tactics of his why a one-on-one will only turn out even more unfortunate because he'd have even less adversaries to protect his victim, due to his general lack of rationality he'd probably even work to turn the very attempt of a one-on-one dispute itself into another user block or ban, that's why I'm trying to create an atmosphere that he might be taken down by collective effort. --Tlatosmd 07:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
