Dont hold back in sharing your experiences if you want - this may not be a chat subforum but any real life examples of the accuracy of the guide will help it develop and so I should think be considered as relevant to topic.
I know I seem to respond to every post and that might be intimidating but please dont let me discourage anyone from making more suggestions, identifying errors or simply identifying which categories you have or do fall into and which categories you have experience interacting with. The more replies the more certainty I have in the quality of the guide. Dont be afraid to talk about positive interactions with those in seemingly negative categories. Perhaps a manipulator led you to self acceptance (I believe that happened to me partially) or a fantasist gave you a moment to escape to a place where your wildest pedo dreams are possible. I am grateful for the few encounters I have reasonable certainty were with a fantasist because they make for satisfying conversations and the opportunity to dream that maybe they really were telling the truth.
I have had two or three times where I engaged in role play without disclosing it in other communities. It helped me access those communities before I was ready to accept that I myself would be accepted and figure out what safety risks were involved. I still wish I had not misguided people with these moments of my life because (in the last attempt I made before reevaluating the choice) pretending to be a 13 year old boy is fun until someone starts to fall in love with you. Fortunately I cut it off at that point because I realized the harm I could be doing and how I would feel to think I had met my ideal child partner online only to discover it was all a lie. I still wouldnt dismiss fantasists as inherently harmful because I can see how it could be done with careful consideration. Good op sec conceivably might look very similar to role play for some and so having a bit of experience at it might keep new pedos safe online.
Great list, quigs! +1
I have known ALL of those types of online pedophiles. 1 thru 5; all day every day. The others less often but very much in the mix. This is especially true if one spends a lot of time reviewing introductions. 
A category I would propose based on "someone I know" 
: The Professor.
This person does seem to have a lot of knowledge, but always uses big words just to make sure everyone thinks they are smart. They frequently condescend to others, especially in a disagreement; there's always an air of "okay sonny, let me tell you how it is..." to their words. The like to engage in heady debates about pedophilia because it makes their big words sound more impressive. Of course, it's all a big front. They are at best a pseudo-intellectual and don't actually read as much as it sounds like they do. After debating the ethics of child porn and giving many arguments against it, they'll turn around and fap to children taking loads in the face. So The Professor is usually a hypocrite.
<edit>
(In case it's not obvious from context, I'm talking about myself here. )
Part of me sank to see not many replies here because I hoped it was relatable but then I read this and knew that any lack of interaction was likely due to those not feeling comfortable to identify themselves and those missing the post because who checks the guides every time they login right?
Your additional suggestion is also a really valuable one to the list. I had tried to avoid sub categorizing community members but I'll admit it is hard to avoid. I think what I like most about it is the concept of self perceived pseudo intellectual and self named "Professor". Oxymoronic, right? Yet talk to professors for long enough and you get the same sense of a slick outer shell concealing a human shaped quantity of self-doubt. Professors are by their nature always questioning themselves. I am reminded of some quote or other that is along the lines of "If a science leader says something might be possible the inevitability is that they are right. If they suggest something is impossible they are almost certainly wrong." Once you get far enough in to a field you realize you are THE guy and start getting cautious. Of course that means that when such Professors are confident enough to say something is simply impossible they have stopped questioning themselves on that matter and so lose that very trait that made them the leader in the field.
All this is to say pseudo-intellectual? On the matter of what it is to be a child lover and love children I think you are truly a tenured Professor at the University of Pedophilia. I mean that sincerely and without the negative connotations that may come with tenureship - you aren't settling for your comfortable retirement but continuing to excel in the field and to mentor others to reach the same heights!
I am glad you clarified you were talking about yourself by the way because reading it just now I thought for a moment it was describing me! Of course I debate the ethics of child porn and give many arguments for it before proceeding to avoid rekindling the delight that the old days of child porn brought me and maintain my total abstinence. Still a hypocrite just the other way around. Certainly I use big words and have no idea what I am talking about
1. I am not nearly as published as yourself on the rocks so perhaps PhD (Pedophile Doctorate) student is more apt for me
:
Unfortunately, even though it is possible for someone to be both an activist and a professor I think it is rare. I am not truly a professor because like many (not all) activists I am a coward on top of a hyhpocrite. A professor merely ponders concepts but an activist pushes an agenda. I push for safe, consensual sexual and romantic activity between adults and children and encourage and support those who I encounter who are engaging, considering engaging or even seem ideal from my view to work towards being active. For all my talk I would never risk it myself. I do try to be clear about that when pushing my agenda and that it comes in part from a certainty I lack the qualities required to safely get intimate with a child but the reality is many successful child love relationships started from inexperience. I am acting just as much from cowardice in avoiding contact as from the belief I am the wrong type of pedo for the job.
Great contribution on the rocks thanks I love when my topics produce new insight or extract a valuable gem of information from someone in this community!
1Of course to fit your description one would have to be convincing to at least some people and perhaps on that count I fall short
:
2Where "safe" refers to limiting harm to others - perhaps you are pretending to be an active pedophile to make that roleplay "safe" you might establish a justification for discouraging others to attempt to replicate your approaches. "Very few are able to get what I have and it involved way too much luck for me to recommend it but my relationship started when I abducted a girl in the street and we got on so well she didnt tell anyone when I let her go! Dont try this at home!" (this is intentionally outrageous example). Why is this required? Because if someone trusted your advice because it is "tried and tested" then you could be partially responsible for any harm that might result. There are arguments that suggest anyone engaging a child is responsible for their decisions and no one else is but as I mentioned this is a whole conversation in itself. For now: if you felt hurt or upset by this list just know that the author of it thinks it is ok to be in (some - not antis or LEA ofc unless they are also struggling pedos) the "less positive" sounding categories.
