That is a poor response to DinoCon’s post. The con does not appear to be banning anybody who was named in the files, but is banning those who corresponded with Epstein's organisation after his crimes had become public knowledge.

The man trafficked and raped children. If you want to email the billionaire pedophile to look for fossils on one of his rape-properties, you are a deplorable cunt and being banned from a con is the smallest punishment you are owed.

This guy goes on to say that this is virtue signalling? How? The con is banning people. It is seemingly backing up its post, not basking in the idea of being anti-pedophile. It is making this decision known to the public, as the Epstein files have become a pervasive part of our lives right now. Knowing a person linked to a pedophile rapist may be attending a con could affect attendees, so getting the word out is smart.

I did a bit of research. As near as I can tell, there’s one (one!) paleontologist listed in the Epstein Files as “having contact with the Epstein organization,” Dr. Jack Horner.

What does "I did a bit of research" even mean? Couldn't it be that DinoCon was told about other cases that he is not aware of?

Banning people for being in the Epstein Files is stupid.

Sounds like a typical straw man argument to me. "engaged in correspondence" is not the same as "being in the files".

I’m in the Epstein Files

Maybe he felt that it applied to himself and therefore did not read the announcement carefully.

Why the hell was epstein on quora though? Like, isn’t that suspicious in itself? Billionaires don’t need to create q&a accounts. They have assistants that just find the answers for them.
