Talk:Peter Sotos

message: -The only crime sotos has ever comitted as far as we are concerned is owning child pornography at one point in time. There is absolutley nothing illegal about his writing. 
- Labeling him as sexual offender based soley on his writing is slanderous and ignorant. 
-Even if he was a sexual offender there would be nothing illegal about him writing books.
It is both hilarious and terrifying that the first thing people do upon coming across his work, is go to the sexual offenders data base.

- A sex offender can be defined as a person who has committed a crime of a sexual nature. I would argue that owning child pornography is a sex crime.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.205.248.4 (talk) 11:03, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Recently I put the article in chronological order: Pure first, then Whitehouse, then his books. Mgordo3 has reverted the change. Mgordo3, can you explain why? It's conventional for biographical articles to be in chronological order; it seems very peculiar to me to do it the other way around. SethTisue (talk) 14:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chronological order 

message: Material describing the contents of Pure has now been removed several times and I'd like to know why. I agree that an earlier description of the contents (not written by me) wasn't NPOV and needed improvement, so after it was deleted I supplied the following replacement:
In addition to offering many details about the crimes of serial killers and Nazis, the text in the magazine praises them, describing them using such terms as "genius", "glorious", "exemplary", and "illustrious". A short manifesto introducing the first issue says the magazine "satiates and encourages true lusts." 
which was removed by Mgordo3 with an edit comment saying "restructured for relevance", which doesn't explain the removal.  I don't think the text I added has any POV problems, so I'm at a loss to understand why it was removed...? SethTisue (talk) 14:28, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Description of contents of ''Pure'' 

message: I did some digging in the archives of the Chicago Sun Times, and have confirmed that Sotos was 25 at the age of his arrest (1985). Further dated articles from the paper confirm this age - unfortunately all are pay-per-view, so I can't link to them - so I see no reason to leave the question mark after his birthdate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.234.124.59 (talk) 14:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The first link in this section "Pornocracy" is broken/wrong? It seems to lead to a historical term instead of the work it's referring to.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.75.251.127 (talk) 06:25, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Works featuring Soros error linking 

message: The pornography issue is covered twice. I copied and pasted both sections below. And we are talking about something that happened according to the Wikipedia page in 1985, 32 years ago. It also says it was only a suspended sentence. Since then, according to the works section he has had over 20 books published. Why is this given such prominence? He also was in the band Whitehouse for 20 years and there are only 3 sentences regarding this yet 2 separate sections regarding the book Pure and child pornography.
"A photocopy from a magazine of child pornography was used as the cover of issue #2 of Pure which led to Sotos pleading guilty to possession of child pornography, receiving a suspended sentence. A copy of the magazine was found by Scotland Yard in Edinburgh, in the home of a suspect in a series of child abductions, murders and grave robbings, which led to Sotos' arrest.[1]"
"Child Pornography[edit source]
In December 1985, Sotos was found and arrested under charges of possession and redistribution of child pornography. The publication, Pure, detailed "the pleasures of child abuse, torture and murder in pornographic detail" and that "child abuse is a sublime pleasure". The last issue of the magazine, about the murder of Melissa Ackerman,[18] was never released due to the arrest. Sotos was never accused of taking any pictures or having direct contact with children.[19]"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill Prate1 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
