Thats because the thread has become about making Mormons look bad. Who has specifically not sided with the victim? Who has said the vic had it coming?

making Mormons look bad

"making"???
Why construct a shoddy building already erected?
Who needs to "make" anything?
Did the DesNews journalist who wrote this article write to "make" anybody look bad?

Does each time a media outlet report the news, do you automatically jump the conclusion that it's not simply about reporting something corresponding to reality? [Caveat: I said EACH time...I recognize what the MSM often does...in this thread, you can't "go there" 'cause the article itself comes from a Mormon source]

Are you going to write complaint letters to the DesNews?

If a poster simply reported most of the "teacher arrested for having sex with kids" stories that are out there, are they simply passing on what's already existing in the media and highlighting a concern? And even if you wanted to ascribe some deep dark motive to such a poster, if there's a scandalous, reoccuring problem (what church preachers used to call "sin in the camp"), do you just tell the poster to censor the info 'cause you want to hide & protect the rep of public schools?

Are you consistent with your "smother the news" approach? How "free" is your "version" of your republic?

Until this post, show me a post (or two..maybe I missed one) besides my own & Reaganaut & svcw who's even mentioned the victim or similar rape victims? Then read posts #7 & #69 and list the three activities that assault & attempted rape is compared to as comparable.

Did those comments draw any critiques from my critics? (No)

I don't mind being shot at. What’s evident, tho, is the inconsistencies of the “shooters”. If the same posters who have critiqued me were "even-handed" in their "shots" -- if they had spoken up & responded to posts #7 & #69 with comments similar to what you find in posts #11 & #70…then you would have posters who show solidarity with the victim…

Instead, those comments go by without nary a comment from critics. Hence, it reveals they’re more concerned at someone who merely did a few cut & pastes to create a thread than the actions of this would-be rapist.

Classic "shoot-the-messenger."
