[Locomotive Breath]

I've read every post in this thread which I, in fact, started. It is you who have not read all the posts. Here's one. Even if CF is an unmitigated jerk, which most of us believe he is not, and wonder how you could form that conclusion based on one incident in his life, based on that make the argument that he's a rapist.

should have been "make the argument that it's relevant to whether he's a rapist"

Even if CF is an unmitigated jerk, which most of us believe he is not, and wonder how you could form that conclusion based on one incident in his life, based on that make the argument that he's a rapist.

But that's the whole point of Free Republic. Somebody posts an interesting news item and Freepers have a great time commenting on the characters involved. If there's a story about a man who's accused of killing his wife, some Freepers read the story and insist he's a no good bum who is as guilty as sin, others are just as adamant he's an angel who's innocent. If there's an item about a kid being punished by his school for a particular incident, many Freepers applaud the school administrators as upstanding educators while others denounce them as morons. It happens every day with almost every thread. In August there was a story about CNN anchor Kyra Phillip's and her on air comments about her husband and her brother's wife. This is what you had to say:
My "Wife-to-English Dictionary" translates this as "I'm lucky to have a doormat for a husband. He does what I tell him." And then she goes on to complain about her sister in law being a control freak!
Using your reasoning, How could you form that conclusion based on one single, solitary comment from her life? And, yes, I realize my comments are not relevant to whether Finnerty is guilty of rape or not, but so what. If you truly have read every post on this thread as you claim, then you should know there are dozens of comments that have absolutely nothing to do with the lacrosse players' guilt.
