On a casual reading of this, I come away with the 'intent' that it is to stop any abusive use of 'pedophilia' as a means of degrading other Posters.
'Pedophilia' being 'sex with a prepubescent child (usually understood at being under 12)'.
Going back and re-reading the Rule, it mentions 'Minor', usually understood as being 'under 18'. I need a little clarification here. WHAT IS THE INTENT OF 12b???
1.) 30 States in the U.S. have 16 as a legal and normal age to engage in sex.
2.) The U.K. has 16 as a legal and normal age to engage in sex.
3.) Canada has 16 as a legal and normal age to engage in sex.
We have people here from Canada, Britain, and the 30 States. It seems awkward that a person could get Banned for engaging in what is legal. I don't think the 'intent' of 12b is to penalize people that reference 'teen sex', it seems reasonable that 12b is 'intended' for the actual meaning of the word 'pedophilia'.
THIS IS A CHALLENGE FOR CLARIFICATION OF 12b AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY INTENDS.
