R U McSerious? 14? Jeez, I said & did stupider things than that at that age, and never made up for it by doing anything smart later on.

Next time I see the internet canard that fooled me, I will not be fooled again. Grazi.

I wasn’t referring to r/jailbait, nor was I implying he was a pedophile. I was clumsily alluding to comments purportedly written by Swartz, supporting peoples’ right to publish, read, and share kiddie porn.

But you know what? I haven’t read Swatrtz’s comments myself, so I’m not sure exactly what he said, and in a few minutes googling I can’t even find what I’d read about whatever Swartz may or may not have written.

So the line about kiddie porn was me talking out of my ass. Never a good idea. Knowing nothing, nothing is what I should’ve said.

I think he’d say, “Please spell my name right.”

I think he’d want more kiddie porn — he had a definite urge in that direction.

I think Aaron Swartz was a complicated guy who did some good but had some enormous issues to say the least, and the ongoing worship of him as a hero is not a good idea.
