I didn’t read the article (sorry, Andrew, but people made your namesake site impossible to read from) but not one person in the world is criticizing anyone with pedophile desires who never acts on it nor uses, shares, watches, or trades child porn.
If there is such a person at your work or in your town, you will never know. These people are living their quiet lives and we don’t care.
We only despise people who KNOW how wrong it is to molest children or deal with child porn and yet do it anyway. Those are the pedos we hate and want dead. It doesn’t get worse in life than harming the innocent.
This is a straw man argument.
If a guy writes an article saying he's a pedophile and he's devoted years to some pedophile subculture online, I put the odds that he hasn't engaged in one or more of those things at.... let's see, carry to two.... okay it comes out to 0%.

There is no such thing as a pedophile who does not act on his (and let’s face it, molesters are overwhelmingly XY) predilections in some fashion or form.
There’s just the matter of getting caught doing whatever it is that feeds the sickness.
