@Anonymous Well, despite your measured tone, there are still some issues that you seem to have ignored. While there is a right to free speech, there are also consequences for things like defamation (which I’ll admit I am not as familiar with as you, probably) and slander – consequences that are shamefully avoided thanks to anonymity. My point is that that anonymity removes any credibility from all of these claims since it denies any substantive verification of their truth. But, more importantly, what you haven’t been able to do is make a valid argument (under the protection of anonymity) that would logically prove your claims, which seems to be your goal. You’re simply asserting your right to make them, which I don’t dispute. And I’m asserting my right to not only dispute their truth, but also their validity; there’s a difference. You posit that there is an accepted set of facts, and then argue about the right to “disseminate” them, meanwhile using the weakest argument possible to validate your original premise. You seem like someone who would know that correlation is not sufficient for causality. There is no more reason to believe that what you say is true than there is to believe my claim that Vikrum is a pedophile and a rapist. Do you think it’s a coincidence that some unidentified person would say that about him in writing? Of course not, so it must be true, whether it’s one person or twenty, and whether others have been accused of it or not. You have in no way substantiated the basis of your claim, nor have you made any convincing argument as to why it should be accepted as valid based on the facts accessible to all of us, and neither has anyone else here. So, in addition to lambasting the character of these assholes for irresponsibly slandering someone without the courage to accept any consequences, I’ve also tried to point out the emptiness of their claims by discussing the simple truth that they are completely without any foundation or substance. And you laying out what “the deal” is may convince you that you’re justified in making these accusations, but it still doesn’t prove them, it merely gives you the illusion of credibility, which is simply immoral and weak. And I haven’t speculated that everything said has been false. I’ve shown over and over again that they are invalid. And I’m also stating with as much factual basis as you are that they are not factual. I know better than anyone else would, and there’s no reason not to believe that. You don’t know who I am, and you can’t prove or disprove the facts of my claim any more than you or anyone else can substantiate what you’ve said. And since not a single person who is actually making accusations has been willing to identify and subject themselves to any scrutiny, then all I have to do is assert myself to be more of an authority than you or any of the rest of them and use as much logic to back it up. Here you go: “I’m the authority. Times infinity times a bajillion.” So, what the hell did you people think any of this was supposed to accomplish other than making us all look like petty children? Was it the Captain Planet thing; seriously? Do you care that much because, and I’m making assumptions about age here, you people come from one of the most apathetic generations in history, so I find it hard to believe that you’re trying to fight for justice here. I think you’re all just getting off on some good old-fashioned “Lord of the Flies” style cannibalism. What I don’t get is why there’s been anyone to defend any of these people. “Curious,” you should be just as pleased if I baselessly chew some anonymous schmuck’s head off as you obviously were by the rabid pack-hunting that started this whole thing. What gives, hero? Let them deal with it on their own; it’s not that hard to cut me down, believe me. But you haven’t done anything to successfully support their position or undermine mine, so you must just be trying to deflect the fury onto yourself. Granted, it’s a mild, sleep-deprived fury, but a fury nonetheless. I don’t get it. Ok; you have the conch now, Piggy. What say you?
