#1 Sexual exploitation of others(especially children) is the ugliest, most vile, lowest level that the human mind could possibly sink to! Those involved deserve the worst punishment!

#2 False accusation of the above for whatever personal agenda it is intended to satisfy is very little better due to the mental, social & finantual anguish it causes. This needs to be dealt with harshly also!

#3 We need to keep our mouths shut and our noses out of these issues & let those that are much more qualified take care of it! Yes the system is imperfect but it is the best we presently have and far more fair and reliable than the court of public opinion!

Thanks for listening. Merv

That said your friend has a better then 50% odds at being guilty. Certainly not odds I would want to take by coming on here and expressing my vote for a man that, by your theory has a 50% chance he sexual assaulted a young boy.

The fact you come on here and tell us all about the stats shows what side your on. Me, I'm on the side of all sexually exploited children and the justice they so very much deserve.

If he's convicted, I'd have no sympathy for him but until that time I think it's unfair to assume guilt. Perhaps one of the differences is I've known him over 20 years or so and I doubt you've met the man.

Legal experts all. Idiots.

Mods, you think my post here is off base, you wanna boot me, be my guest. Save me the trouble of closing my account. I have no further desire to frequent a forum that allows such garbage to pass as content. One way or the other, this is my last post here.

After a 10 year absence from the hobby (after almost 40 years in it) I discovered this site. I've been a viewer of this site for a short time, and I've read a lot of mean spirited bullshit on this forum. If I was an advertiser, I'd be questioning my my marketing decisions. I'm questioning my purchasing decisions beginning - now.

Some advice - don't allow the politics or the religion. Your forum will be a better place.

Buh Bye.
