Hello, this is Lord Exodus writing. I wanted to add my own response as I think it is necessary for many of the posters within this topic to see.

For a great while I watched with interest the developments of this topic; the accusations put forward by Mr. Stetson, the supporting rhetoric by his personal allies and the added comments by random users unrelated to the actual issue at hand, who, after merely reading content within this topic, became experts on the matter, able to confidently deploy a verdict of "guilty". And, frankly, while the resulting commentaries do not surprise me, I thought there would have been more that questioned the validity of the claims made against me, or at least challenged the original poster for some kind of evidence to support his claims.

I suppose many would argue that if I were not guilty of these things then I should have made my case, explained my side of the story. I disagree.

My reasoning for this is simple, many of you have already demonstrated an incompetence for scrupulous judgement of fact, upon which a rational mind would have determined a verdict. Without having heard my story, or any evidence to support the accusations made against me, you had already decided I was your villain. I do not see how presentation of my side of the issue will suddenly improve your capacity to deliberate rationally. Furthermore I do not think it likely that such people are capable of publicly changing their opinion, for this alteration would be a public admittance to a less than admirable characteristic in the first place.

"Then if not refute the claims against you, then what be the purpose of this post?" you may ask.

I suppose I just wanted to share with you how entertaining I find it when the willfully ignorant become experts overnight and spill their opinion on matters for which they can surely have very little special knowledge.

Had you posted your side of it back when this was an issue, maybe those opinions could have considered that as well. It would have been much more useful than posting a wall saying how you are significantly better than everybody else. :rolleyes:

You obviously missed my point.

I was remarking on the absurdity of determining guilt before hearing the other side to the story or any evidence for that matter, which is what happened here.

Why would I bother explaining myself to people who clearly do not sought truth, those who had made their minds up before I even made explanation?

I don't recall saying I was better than anyone else, I only recall pointing out the flaw in many of the repliers approach to the matter.
