Question on freedom to voice support for criminal actions?

[Something completely different]

I am balancing on a knifes edge here. The forum rules state that it is not allowed to directly call out any forum members. Jet this post is the result of a post or several post by a forum member.

I believe that expressing ones opinion is not a crime.

But. And I guess some might notice that I am writing about someone specific here.

What if someone would be in support and voice his support, for a crime which is so grose and disgusting that it would be perceived as criminal activity in most countries.

What if a forum member were in support of childrape?

And I am purposly naming it childrape because unconcensual sex to me is rape.

Some of us have been talking about drugs and the use of drugs which could be seen as criminal activity. There was a member here who denied the holocaust which outraged me quite a bit and would be illegal where I come from.
And when angry I might even overreact, but to my knowlege I havent jet reported and probably never will, report a person simply because of his opinion.

But frankly I would feel much more comfortable in the company of a methjunky, neo nazi, radical feminist, grining african warlord with a necless made of human fingerbones or communist.
Than in the company of someone who voices support for the legality and decriminalisation of rape of children.

He's a troll, I found that out when I tried to translate his signature. He pulls the same crap, with the same name, at many other forums.

I don't know if he can me taken seriously or not. I get the strong impression that he is just some idiot fucking with us.

That thing you refer to is scum!
The only power we have is to expose how horrible it is. Maybe others can ban it, but we do not have that power, and sweeping these things under the carpet only lets them fester, (See catholic church). The main reason that I can see for people choosing this or that faith is to create a means of excusing their own intolerable actions.
You can see clearly on that thread that voice has no claim to humanity.

He's a troll,

I hope so

When I find something so outrageous, that I think people should see it to believe how horrible it is, I usualy post it in the "Hall of Shame".

Jet, this is something new for me. And frankly I didn`t think that I would ever come into contact with someone who actively supports this kind of behavior.
I am not just talking about someone who might deny the holocaust, post something extremly mysogenistic, attacks a other member or is simply outright stupid.
I dont feel comfortable simply calling it out or just letting people know that he posts this stuff. Frankly I feel a bit powerless and if I was watching a kind of monster.

It`s not that I want to shrug it under the carpet.

Quite frankly, his actions make me want to go to the police.

What if a forum member were in support of childrape?

What if they were? As long as they are not using the forum to commit/coordinate rape (of child or otherwise): does it matter?

Freedom of speech, yknow?

Freethinking, might be understood my many as being clinical, rational, etc, but when our emotions are provoked, that also should be registered.

Then that person would be a free-thinker, unlike you.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Would it be rational to deny that we have emotions?

[Minimalist]

It's legal here.

Nope.
