Tarasaramozart, I concur with your post. I think some folks on this forum should perhaps step out from behind their keyboard and monitor a little more often and have some positive person to person interactions with real human beings outside this virtual bubble.
I feel confident in stating that nobody who has posted in this thread knows whether the accusations are true or not. Yet anonymity seems to breed a self-righteous confidence that gives rise to outright crass belligerence.
How would any of us feel if it were us accused? How would we feel if it were our son, brother, father, grandfather? So far most of the accusations are hitting public figures that are in the abstract to us. However, if the trend continues, it may work its way down to people well-known to us, perhaps even close to us. Will we be so flippant about the outcome then?
