The false accusations here have got to go. They cloud the serious discussion of the critical issue at hand, and only demean those who make them.
This entire event has been disturbing at many levels.
You're right. But unfortunately and pathetically, some people have let their lives revolve around these so-called accusations. Some have even put up web sites based on them. That makes it difficult if not impossible to let go. In the long run they have only harmed what they espoused.
