Again, the words were Mel Gibson's, not mine.
Not according to the verified (not anonymous) reports that I've seen. And I've seen the police report, unless it's been amended since the initial (criminal) leak?
That's my entire point. If you want to make this type of attack on someone, at the minimum supply the link to where you got the stuff you're basing it on. Or don't you understand the concept of "the web?"
There's lots of stuff out there that I'm not willing to accept as fact. Particularly when the people peddling it have a clear agenda. Then when others repeat that junk as "fact" I react. If you have any verifiable evidence I'm happy to entertain it. Unsubstantiated character assassination is just crap.
I'm willing to be convinced, but the more anonymous sources I see cited as "proof" the more I doubt the original charges. And I'm particularly bothered when someone states something as bald "fact," "assumed Truth," without any substantiation, and that makes me question those who post them all the more. That may be a question of their motives, their competence or their work ethic, it's all the same to me. Prove me wrong. I actually am anxious for you to do so. This is what I enjoy the most about FR. I want to be proved wrong. The key there is "proved."
