Dave, your own posts say more about your mentality than I could ever do, so I think I'll quit while I'm winning.

dianavan, I meant to say that one of your earlier posts (26 Nov - 02:04am) made some good points. I too would be interested in any data about rates of re-offending, because what kendo said goes against what I have always understood. On the other hand, kendo's point is well taken that paedophiles as commonly understood by the term are mercifully rare birds.

But, dianavan, I would also be interested to know if there is any evidence to say that paedophiles tend to be intelligent. Or perhaps you mean they can be manipulative and cunning, as also associated with psychopathy?
