I think I had to stereotype a typical reaction by someone who knew
absolutely nothing except fourth-hand innuendo, I could just copy your
message verbatim.

Do you have any proof of anything you state in your first paragraph?  No.
It's stuff you heard over the water-cooler.

The NAMBLA site has actually been up and down a number of times.  The
sequence is: they put the site up.  Clue know-nothings like you protest to
the ISP.  The ISP decides it doesn't need the hassle and cancels the
hosting contract.  Repeat.

I don't think that proves anything except that there are people who want
to censor other people.  Unlike you, I've read the site - nothing but
political advocacy last time I saw it.
