Granted. But that still doesn't make one a criminal. Arguing about the law, demonstrating against laws one feels are unjust, advocating changes in the law, and even being an activist in getting laws reconsidered... none of these things are crimes. Therefore the simple fact that pedophiles wish the law were different, and may argue that the law [italic]should[/italic] be different, still does not meet the definition of ""criminal."" The label is inappropriate. Your own comment seems to acknowledge this (""[Not] having acted as a criminal...,"" italics added), so let's not try to imply it."
