I got the irony the first time round.

Clearly.  Clap

I'm trying to be fair too. With that evidence the likelihood of him being innocent is close to nothing right?

I read some of the evidence -- I worked in Santa Barbara when his trial was being held, coverage locally was pretty intense.

I'm of the opinion he probably did some rotten things to those poor kids, but my opinion doesn't determine the facts.

I'm also old enough to remember the McMartin preschool witch-hunt, and how innocent people had their lives ruined over false allegations of pedophila, so I prefer to tread carefully.

Well yeah... but I'm pretty sure those people didn't have photographs of naked adults with children's faces morphed on top...

Abaris actually cracks me up. He seems so serious and almost robotic in his tone all the time, but then he'll break out the occasional fart comment and it's hilarious.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

It's not illegal to be disturbed.

That's true but that wasn't the only evidence.

But are you licensed for it, a process that begins with asking your doctor if you're healthy enough to get so worked up about shit.

I was answering your post, not all the evidence.

We each have our own preferences in deciding what we think about this or that. I'm comfortable with my approach.
