I think the opponent is a toybox paedophile

A simple anti, who either has no paedofeelings of his own or is successfully repressing them, would have answered VERY differently. From these two quoted sentances, i suspect he is a paedophile, knows {or atleast suspects} he's a paedophile, and was trying to send MD a subtle message, recommending him to follow his own, ratlike lifestyle, which, as we all know, immensely helped the Frank family. :=/
