Without knowing the man personally or having any special insight other
than a fan of 20+ years, I think that a friend of mine summed it up in
an email to me:

 <<I have long thought that PT is one of those bright intellects who
lacks basic, sound commonsense.It was beyond dumb to go to a kiddie
porn site, but in his naivety, he thinks his goodwill, and his belief
in his good intentions, is more than enough to calm worried people.He
is a reckless guy and self indulgent in many things, but not uncommon
for silly, foppish 60's liberals.PT rightly should be laughed at if he
is innocent and ridiculed, like a George Michael or Hugh Grant.What
was he thinking? >>

I think that most of us "know" him well enough to take his word on
this, but the rest of the world does not.
