and the rest of the post is pretty irrelevent being as 1. shoplifting and child molestation are not comparable and 2. computer hacking and child molestation are not comparable crimes either. The title of the thread tells you everything. You would be better off going back to the appreciation thread ............

I'm responding to stuff like "good riddance"

I never implied that they were comparable in severity. The fact is both what I did and what he did were legal problems. In my case I was innocent. In his case, who knows. My point was that even if you are innocent it's sometimes altogether best to settle, and it doesn't necessarily mean guilt. This probably happens more than you'd think. But even if you don't see it - how is the fact that the trial was destroying his life irrelevant??

LOL, you're doing a good job 349 but I think you're wasting your time!

Too many silly straw men being put up. We should just go back to our wall-to-wall grieving and our campaigning for the legalization of child molestation.

Just noticed this...

The implication there being that we lack the same abhorrence of child molestation or appreciation of its seriousness? In truth, all you're doing is making a 'no smoke without fire' argument and insinuating that those who don't share it must care less about the children. Which is clearly nonsense (or nonce-sense, if you prefer). It could quite easily be argued that being a parent can make you less rational, make you more susceptible to paedo panic.

i think you need to not take that quote out of context. i was referring to a couple of counts of where 'most people' 's opinion was being brought up. i was reflecting how my experience of 'most people' was different and why.

but sorry if you feel offended; that certainly wasn't my intention. nor was it to imply that nobody but parents understood the seriousness of the matter. my point is that 100% of parents i know (which represents 'most people' in my world) reckon he was a child-molester.

I'm not offended, I promise.

I just think you're presumptious and wrong!

There was a poll taken in '93 or '94 about the trials asking if the public thought he did it - guess what, 80% said they think he did not. I think that's more significant than the parents you know.

Uhm... in a non-distorted summation of the truth, it's not obvious at all.
