 why are you promoting this woman? She was a pedophile, and campaigned for the release of pedophiles from prison. She damaged many young children psychologically by sexually abusing them.

 You're right, my fault. Let me switch to Heidegger instead.

 calling someone out for being a pedophile and harming children (a matter of historical fact) is being silly?

 are you sure this is not simply slander?

 yes I'm sure because what I said is a matter of public knowledge,  which you can find out for yourself by looking her up on Wikipedia. Suggest do some research in future before calling someone silly. And,  have a great day.

 To be fair: just because this women was an evil person it doesn’t mean everything she said is wrong, faulty or should not be taken note of.

 maybe true, same can be said for Hitler and Stalin. BUT, there are plenty of wise and inspiring things said by folks who are not pedophiles, or otherwise despicable people, so I'd rather promote them.
