Apparently you have not read the OP, or if you did, you have failed to understand it.

Considering Jimmi Saville and how long he got away with it, even on TV, making blatant jokes etc and the recent UK football paedo scandal, I have to say that PAEDO-rings/supporters/enablers DO exist.

Pedophilia is a sickness that permeates every society on Earth. It goes back to the beginning of the life on this planet. It has been called by many names, and it wears many faces. In some cultures it isn't even recognized as vile, or unnatural, and this complicates the issue on many levels.
Much of Caged Bird centers on trauma Angelou experienced as a child. When she was 8, her mother’s boyfriend raped her. She testified at his trial, but though he was convicted, he only served one day in jail. Soon after, he was beaten to death, most likely by Angelou’s uncles. “I thought my voice had killed him,” she later said. “So I stopped talking for five years.” Finally, a neighbor named Bertha Flowers insisted that Angelou read poetry aloud, which helped her regain her voice.
I'm sure none of these things have anything to do with pedophilia... but I'll bet some members can twist things to make it look that way. That was the point of the OP.
- you "alledge" Arista logo resembles Boy Love symbol
- Arista founder kept his "bisexuality" secret for over THIRTY YEARS, but was likely known in celebrity circles
- Rumors circulating of Clive Davis's Pedo preferences
We can't fight a monster that we don't want to see. Pushing the boogeyman under the bed or into closet has only emboldened the monster. It has allowed it to feed freely and to continue to grow. Telling children there is no boogeyman doesn't make it necessarily so.

Why the quotes? I said quite clearly that there was a resemblance. The pedophile symbol was devised in 1997; Arista records was founded in 1974; The Woolmark logo also resembles to it:
It dates from 1964. Clearly, the whole wool industry is involved in this ever growing ring.
- Arista founder kept his "bisexuality" secret for over THIRTY YEARS, but was likely known in celebrity circles
Bisexuality is not pedophilia. If he was open about bisexuality, why not pedophilia? They were both socially unacceptable.
- Rumors circulating of Clive Davis's Pedo preferences
Rumors are not fact. You have missed the point of the thread altogether. Rather than seeing how you can be emotionally primed to buy into rumors and speculations without applying critical judgement, indeed, using your imagination to see "clues" where there are none, you proceeded to let your imagination run wild, posting an interview that you clearly believe named Davis, when it was no such thing.
You are too obsessed with pedophilia. Let me try a different approach. Here is a picture of a Nazi saluting:
The Nazis were very bad people who murdered millions. Here is an American racist giving a Nazi salute:
He is a Nazi sympathizer. Here is an Ukrainian leader giving that salute:
This proves that the government in Kyiv is composed of dangerous racist Nazis. Here is a picture of a member of the American Republican Party:
This proves that the Republican Party is a nest of Nazis, right?
By charging an image with negative emotions, rational thought can be short circuited. Instead of piecing together evidence and forming a theory, you jump to a conclusion and selectively look for "evidence," even just rumors, coincidence, or sheer speculation, to confirm it in your mind. You have done exactly that in this thread.

The first step to fighting a monster is to determine if it is real or a figment of your imagination. Real people complained about Jimmy Saville. It was not necessary to puzzle over alleged cod words and symbolic images. Physical crimes leave physical marks, psychological crimes leave psychological marks. What kind of crime leaves no marks?
I've always found that allowing yourself to think about subjects(any subject) in term of absolutes(either 100 percent true, or 100 percent false) does nothing but exclude one from a higher realm of intellectual thought.
Once a conclusion is reached and attains a "100 percent" mindset, you are no longer capable of rational thought or analysis.
Hmm. You seem hysterical.
going on and on about wool and nazis and whatnot.
Did you miss the epic irony where you actually proved the arista records logo is connected to an alleged music industry pedophile?
