I would draw the line relative to the project interest. People are not bad or good. Only acts are bad or good, and even in this case it may depend on the point of view. If a pedophile or any other kind of criminal provide a pertinent pull request, I will accept it. Discussions in the project must be respectful and professional.

Rejects must be justified.

> If a pedophile or any other kind of criminal

Pedophilia is not criminal (in "civilized" countries), it's just a sexual orientation. What you might be thinking of is child abuse. Please don't confound those two, because being a pedophile is neither a choice nor does it make you a child abuser, nor is all child abuse done by pedophiles.

edit: lol, downvotes for this? Really? I'd really be curious how those downvotes correlate with support for CoCs.
