The "well liked" phrase was simply a response to someone who challenged my mentioning it in a previous post. I have never said I like or accept him as a person, but then I don't know him. I am not naive, and be careful of any further accusation you want to make please. I was trying to make the point that it is likely you didn't see those other two examples in the same way, and I chose them as they were very public. Gary Glitter is another case in point, his CD's are still on sale, and his record company or HMV are not boycotted by you because of it. You choose to separate the man from the organisation, but that doesn't mean you accept their crimes. -- For the love of the dance

In reply to: grow up... 's message, "Maybe you are just naive, Irishdaz (I hope so, otherwise you'd have to be crooked). "he was open and he appeared well liked" - of course he was, they tend to be. Otherwise children would run away screaming. Do you think paedophiles have big bloody pointed teeth?" on Thu, Sep 20 2007, 22:07:10

I feel that a person tried at the court and convicted cannot simply carry on as if nothing happened and does not deserve any support nor promotion especially if the promotion may result in another tragedy -- as simple as that, Fri, Sep 21 2007, 10:05:42 [1]
