> In other words, I said I had come across a verbal accusation from a
trusted source. I openly admit that I do not at this point have legal
evidence, but have strong enough indications to make me suspicious or
curious.

> When I bring this up here, I get attacked, pushed into weird
pseudo-philosophical corners and threatened with all kinds of legal and
semi-legal attacks.
> One poster in fact goes as far as using the word "lynch". All I hear from
Mr More is I am a liar and he wants to sue me. Others want to remove the
whole thread from the archive, thereby censoring free speech.
>
> The whole outrage is not directed at the despicable action I wonder about,
but against my wondering in public. And then you are surprised that I do not
wish to reveal my identity at this point?
>
> It's not that I don't agree that there could have possibly been a better
way to sort this out. I simply did not foresee the fury I created, and for
this I am sorry.
>
> If the rumor is false, and if Mr More is not in support of such behavior,
all that is necessary is a clear statement to that effect, not retaliation
for an imagined wrong. All this excitement only makes me wonder...
