Since you refuse to even state what qualifications you have in even a general manner everyone will quite rightly assume you don't have any. Certainly Enid Bloch (a PHD who teaches Greek Philosophy and Ancient History) is qualified to recognize that what your hero and his homosexual pedophile friends were doing to the young Greek boys of their day was child abuse. You can and will call me every name in the book but it won't change the fact that these child abusers are your heros.

"Solon, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, etc. were the young Greek boys of their day! There is no mention in their writings or any other of their contemporaries that there was any child abuse against them or toward them."

Of course the journal published scholarly article by Enid Bloch titled Sex between Men and Boys in Classical Greece: Was It Education for Citizenship or Child Abuse?

points out just such evidence from the writings of Plato, Socrates and Solon. That's why you immediately attacked her character as well as her qualifications and even made fun of her appearance. Surely a weak and desperate attempt on your part to deny the obvious. Namely that grown men using young boys as sexual objects was then and still is CHILD ABUSE!

"I simply pointed out that the only “evidence” you could dredge up purporting to find child abuse in ancient Greece was a ridiculous self analysis by a photographer who had no psychological or psychiatric training..."

No what you did (because you had no rational or factual arguments against her scholarly article: Sex between Men and Boys in Classical Greece: Was It Education for Citizenship or Child Abuse? ) was to immediately jump on google to search for anything you thought you could use to discredit her. The article you are attacking was titled Reflections on Childhood and Philosophy and was not the article I posted.

"Do yourself a favour; when you wish to explore any subject in the future...go to experts in the field!"

LOL! She is an expert in the field. Your name calling and infantile behaviour can't change that.
