That is not verbaitm, but it is the gist of it.

Im almost certain that you missed an important distinction. It is not that a paedophilia joke would lead people to do anything at all, it is that paedo jokes and porn together can present the appearance of untoward actions to the kind of people who are professional shit disturbers/self-righteous busy-bodies/anointed by THE LORD to make sure no one is having too much fun. You know who I am talking about. While I am not seriously saying anyone in the present administration reads TFP, I am saying that there are people out there who make the current administration look like frickin libertines who would gleefully pounce on this sort of thing, rightly or not.
So basically, if I understand it correctly, the mods and admins are just trying to not buy trouble. That's fair. And if not, there's always the bottom line: Hal's house, Hal's rules.
