Dreamer - you seem like a good guy who’s heart is in the right place. Would you please take the time to take a look and listen to what Thornburgh and Clement have come up with?
It’s a bit of an investment in your time, but worth it. Try to understand the reality of a “friendly predator” whose grooming skills were in the top 1% of all friendly predators. And please don’t throw around statements like “discouraging pursuit of the matter” - it’s patently false. Louis Freeh has a history of unsubstantiated conclusions and unsupported exaggerations, and has been reprimanded for it. Take a steo back and reconsider your opinion, based on facts, not media-driven drivel.

Sure, and try to understand the reality of someone hearing a report of sodomy in the showers of a program under their control, a report credible enough that they hire the guy who made it for the next decade - and then them doing NOTHING as you they the reported pedophile take boy after boy to events he ran, away games, banquets, and to the showers in his facility.

That is the reality.

All the hand waving, extenuating circumstances, anecdotes and personal attacks do not detract from that reality.

Thank you pghoil. It seems there are many who have made up their minds, and will believe JoePA is evil. No facts or rational thinking will change way they believe. And they will not read the reports, because they do not want their minds changed. Perhaps they are concerned about being seen as pedo-sympathizers, or will feel their masculinity challenged. The sad irony is that this is just what the pedo’s want - in fact, it’s what they are counting on.

I’d love to continue the chat - but for now - I’m out.
