disappointing but also somewhat irritated by the reaction that 'he is claiming childhood abuse to cover for this'. really? in my experience people who were abused as children sometimes grow up to do some fucking horrible things.

This is a toxic, deterministic attitude. Many people abused in childhood grow up to be wonderful, loving people. If we push this idea in society of the cyclical or pay it forward theory of abuse what are we saying to young survivors? "oh, you're going to be fucking evil when you grow up, too bad".

Not Charlie Rose, no--I'm in Toronto. Charlie Rose is famous enough that I'd name him. Jmm knows who I mean. I probably shouldn't even post--he's just out seeing a movie. It feels slightly less of an ambush if I don't name him.

I heard that the court of public opinion is worse than jail time so you could be on to something there.

Clemenza, seems a bit unfair to compare SP to Weinstein at this point?https://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2018/04/27/tvos-steve-paikin-cleared-of-wrongdoing-by-independent-investigator.html

Didn't know at all he'd been cleared--I'm glad. (Not knowing where the story stood at this point was one of the reasons I didn't use a name.) Not knowing that, I think the comparison is obvious: they'd been accused of the same thing.
― clemenza, Sunday, 6 May 2018 01:07 (five years ago) link
Actually, they hadn't--Pakin was accused of saying something. Didn't know that, either. (That wasn't made clear when the story broke, was it?) Again, I'm glad.

Uh, he is really twisting the words of the judge there. She is saying that Tadros' statement is a kind of statement that can be proved right or wrong, not that it's already been done. My belief in his innocence is not exactly heightened by this.
