here is the latest from the Guardian—why publication should be based on what i said is obscure to me

Bob,

Thanks for your note. I made clear that we don't ordinarily retroactively change quotes - our reluctance to share quotes in advance is to avoid this very situation.

That said, appreciate that your more colourful/animated remarks may have been delivered in the heat of the moment.

More broadly, I take on board what you say. We are in the process of considering whether (and if so how) we would publish a story in light of the information you have provided.

I will let you know when that changes.

Paul

should have been stronger in saying, as i believe, that the part of the brain that evolves to give sensible consent may not be dropping in age the way menses has—indeed my guess is that it has not
secondly i am already receiving considerable hate mail off the Reuters piece—again because of this ambiguity regarding 14 and 15 year olds—the first i read about were 16 and 17 which did not much disturb me but i did say—at least in a quotable note to you—that Jeffrey had committed a crime, served time for that crime and made efforts at retribution—i wish that got a little bit more play than exactly where i stand vis-a-vis 15 year olds
yes he is a friend of mine and for much more than financial reasons and i do have compassion for those who, like myself, have been imprisoned—i thought he served his sentence with dignity and has acted well since
otherwise, i will wait to see what you have done
in the meantime, all the best
