No, I pointed out Rev Rye specifically.
Also, you guys are condemning Milk just now, not one person condemned him then, I was mainly pointing out Downbeatplumb's hypocrisy since he started that thread, and every one in that thread, save me and GC was defending Milk.

That was shown to be false, conclusively.And Even then, I took what I could find in the way of evidence for your proposition, weighed the two together, and while Milk’s not entirely morally in the clear, I’m not quite seeing the predatory behavior you claim in Milk’s case. The only other case I could find was him responding to a Minnesota teenager and telling him to move to San Francisco (when he was a famous member of the board of supervisors) and telling him to not tell his parents he was moving to a big city. The detail of “don’t tell the parents” is certainly questionable, but it’s not a silver bullet pointing to nefarious purposes.
If you can find more conclusive evidence pointing to more unambiguously predatory behavior, show me, and, if it checks out, I’ll gladly revise my view of Harvey Milk. So far, I’m getting “far from perfect, with some eyebrow-raising incidents, but not quite worthy of condemnation.”
So far, file this under “important if true.”
Will somebody address this fool (he has me on ignore) and explain the concept of statutory rape to him.
He makes ridiculous posts, ends up getting lambasted, then he wants to ignore somebody.
