One of the reasons I so rarely post anymore is because it seems in recent years on PS that there has been a substantial increase of people assuming that some story in the press is absolutely true and that it presents all information on the case. To question that on this forum - and to point out that all facts are not known - and that people (and organizations) have rights can only typically now be done with the understanding that a number of people on this forum will seriously object citing a variety of reasons.
So, here we go again. The press story was not quite so true. Who knows how much of a fabrication. Yet the University and others have been dragged through the mud.
I ask everyone to review what their previous conclusions were (clearly stated in this thread) and ask why do we all jump to conclusions so soon. Why was this thread even started. There are people who want to believe the worst in everyone and everything. Yet that is often not true. That is not to say that there are not bad people and that bad things do not happen.
I have twice been falsely accused. Having lived through that I am really skeptical about any "he" or "she" said story without solid evidence and solid corroborating witnesses.
The fact is that many people lie. So why do we assume that stories are automatically true?
Have a great day,
