Whitney,
Who defended him? WHO? EVERYONE was shocked that it happened but not one person defended him or his actions once the evidence was in place. NOT ONE. You should quit drinking that kool-aid they serve over at TRR. It is completely distorting your ability to see reality and think for yourself.

He did not admit guilt outright in post 24, but I have a migraine and I simply am not going to read through that thread again to pinpoint exactly where he says it explicitly. He does begin fostering doubt in his actions in post 24, and if you want to quibble over the semantics of it, fine. I'm sorry I am not stating everything in explicit terms and defining each word as I go along. I think there are plenty of intelligent adults here who can read contextual meaning into words here as easily as they can on the BOI.
And not that you really care but do I get along with everyone at that board? heck no. will everyone on a board ever get along? heck no. I frequent several different boards but that's not relevant, right? Only the one that you happen to dislike?
Again about NERD. I do not know what happen after my last post in that thread, because once he said it was not his problem to back up his accusations I lost all interest in hearing anything else he had to say and did not return to the thread.
And personally, I do not care if it is NERD, New Breeder On The Block, or my own flesh and blood. I call a spade a spade. Right is right and wrong is wrong, who you are does not have any effect on that. I have not talked to or seen one of my brothers in almost three years. He lives 15 minutes away. He is a scumbag and can't be trusted. I won't have anything to do with him. So do not sit there and tell me that "because it is NERD......". No one else gives a crap who it is either...
You know where the thread is, but I'll summarize. Kara admitted it was a NERD event. So, the context was established, and NERD was freehandling hots with the public. To me, that is more offensive than mislabelling a thread. But hey, that's just me. Despite that fact, unfortunately most of the posts were about how the thread could have gotten off to a better start. Yes it should have, but again I think the pictures stand alone and speak for themselves. Someone is freehandling venomous snakes and letting children touch them and stand within striking distance. Whomever it is, should be ashamed and apologize to the entire community for their irresponsible behavior. That is not a "I think you should do such and such because its my moral imperative" situation. Putting kids at risk for accidental envenomation or infection due to a deep bite shouldn't be a matter of perspective. There are simply lines that everyone acknowledges shouldn't be crossed, and blatantly endangering kids is one of them. I thank god no one got tagged at that function.
yet you have no REAL evidence of any of it because none of it is true. It is just what you WANT to be true. You really need to learn to tell the difference.
No, of course I don't want it to be true. I want to believe that all people are basically good. I know that's not the reality, no one is perfect or good at all times, but for cripessakes there is something really wrong with people who think that fair use of copyrighted materials and not being a paragon of debate school clearly articulating your thoughts in each and every post is MORE OFFENSIVE than freehandling hots. I'm sorry Rich, I really tried not to make any of my posts in this thread exclusively about the NERD thread, but I am not the one who mentioned it by name again.
And again Rich, I think Karen is trying to make the point that it SEEMED related. You say it wasn't. That doesn't preclude someone from making the assumption that they are in fact related, since they followed a chronology that has already been laid out here ad nauseam.
