And I'm not trying to assign blame, Mike. Instead, I'm simply pointing to the realities - these stories are very often one-sided, with that person providing only his side of the story. For most people without a bias or an agenda to push, that alone should raise a major red flag, garnishing serious doubts about the accuracy of the story. None of us know the people involved in these stories, but certainly all of us know some will lie without restraint if that fits their needs. Thus, a person simply saying something in a story doesn't, for a moment, make it true. Instead, intelligent, thinking, adults (again without a bias or an agenda to promote), either have to ask questions seeking the truth or dismiss the stories outright. I've done both in previous such threads.

Well, since you started that thread and were aware of the above, I think you should have at least reported it in that thread, without trying to whitewash it or spin it to fit how you want others to view that information. Most people in this forum are adults, Mike. With our own minds, opinions, and BS meters. Thus, most here don't need others to interpret or spin the details, or preselect the information we see (withholding what one doesn't want us to know), in an effort to manipulate or influence what we think. We get enough of that nonsense from the so-called mainstream media today without it creeping into this forum as well. Instead, what we need is the actual and whole story, from start to end, so we can form our own conclusions as free-thinking adults.
