From my perspective there were two sets of speculations offered before any details were known.

Now that more details are becomming available one group appears to be correct and the other incorrect.

The fact remains that both positions were speculative which makes any attempt to exact servitutde from those who guessed incorrectly appear rather hypocritical.

From my perspective both groups were premature.

I don't want servitutde, I want common human decency, and to clear the air so any hostile feelings can be put behind us.

Actually, one group was making up wild stories about Elizabeth based on no facts whatsoever while the other group was defending her BASED ON THE EVIDENCE.

The fact is that many Freepers assumed that she was some sort of shiftless slut based on mere speculation. It is entirely appropriate, when it comes to questioning the honor of a young woman, to offer an opportunity, for those neglently mistaken about that young woman's honor, to eat some humble pie.

If someone spread a wicked rumor about my daughter and that rumor was proven false, I would give you the opportunity to recant before I horse whipped that individual. It is a matter of honor.

The most sensible remarks in a long time about this case. Thank you.
