When asked how he could admire an airforce general despite being a pacifist, MLK jr responded "I judge people by their own principles – not by my own.” Judge that redditor by the principle of someone whose career is helping children but instead exploits them.

I agree it doesn’t matter how many children he’s helped. I’ve heard from my Hindu friends that good deeds won’t naturalise bad Karma. Im not religious and don’t believe in karma, but I think this is well grounded. It doesn’t matter how many children he has helped, it doesn’t change the fact that he has damaged so many others for sexual gratification.

The guys a vile worm, and think you’re right to judge him.

I’m aware. You may have missed that I made that distinction in my first sentence.

With modern Usenet there are about 8 or so backbones used for file sharing. Your Usenet provider/server would connect to one or more of these backbones.

Its true Usenet is designed for federation, and in the 80s and 90s it was thousands of servers but today commercial Usenet providers just resell these 8 backbones.
