If it weren't for the fact your original posts have been quoted so many times, you might have been able to retcon and make this true. Fortunately, you cannot.
And even if I were feeling generous, and gave you the benefit of the doubt, if you indeed were making a tongue in cheek comment over a primarily-text medium, then yes, you ought to make that clear, lest your words be construed as pretty cut-and-dry.
But I don't believe you for an eye-blink

Like I said, I made one tongue in cheek comment. Not even close to a giant paper trail. Other than that I have stated nothing other than adultery should be considered a criminal offence. A criminal offence does not necessarily mean prison nor does it mean stoning to death.

You're right about stoning, but you're wrong about prison. If convicted of a criminal offense, a defendant almost always does time, and may additionally be fined. The time may be served in something as minor as house-arrest or community service, all the way up to maximum security, but in some way, shape, or form, they lose their freedom until the sentence is satisfied.

You're the one who can't tell the difference. He's saying he's been punished plenty and that he was only 24 when he did it.

AND that it was a mistake on his part, AND that his punishment was rightly deserved.
I'd make a remark about common sense and your teeth, but that would be unbecoming of me, so instead I'll use the more appropriate internet vernacular and simply state:

More like once a cheater, always a cheater. Rarely do people gain morals once they've hit adulthood.

And to that, good sir, I say "Thank the powers that be that we will never have to stand before you in a tribunal that matters."
