Perhaps there is some lack of rationality here, but it is in the depth of my feeling, not in my thinking.
These people are some of the most arrogant, pompous cretins ever to participate on this site. And it was THEIR irrationality, in the form of extreme vitriol against ANYONE who dared dispute their elaborate shell-game they had constructed to "prove" Westerfield's innocence--ultimately predicated on the fact that someone once heard someone say that Westerfield was a conservative Republican--that finally set my teeth on edge. I have been silent for many weeks on this issue, waiting for the inevitable guilty verdict I knew would come.
And now, yes, I am irrationally gloating and dancing on the grave of this stupid batch of conspiracy theories. I'm having FUN doing it, too. I haven't been this satisfied since my wedding night.
...and I'm applauding every word you're saying.
Frankly, I am still not sure that Westerfield is guilty. Neither am I sure that he is innocent. I still think that Damon might have had something to do with his daughter's disappearance. The guy is too weird and unemotional. I even spoke to someone who works with Damon who thought that Westerfield was innocent. I have to admit that not being able to view the type of child pornography that Westerfield had on his computer handicaps the judgement call. However, I feel that it must have been pretty bad for the jury to bring in a guilty verdict.
Still, your vitriolic condemnation of the Westerfield supporters makes you sound worse than any of them.
