I went back and it's true I wasn't making much sense most of the time. I got a bit too zealous.
It is easy to get caught up. Also it's easy to lose sight of what the different people are arguing. The fact that he
did get that list doesn't mean that all the names on the list are real or that they are the correct person.
Hmmm.. In all fairness Hap(or whatever it was) did get kind of screwed over in this thread. Much of the super convoluted "Men in Black" story that people are saying he told, was stuff added by others. Don't get me wrong.. He didn't do the best job of explaining it but much of what he said was then twisted by other people to make it sound totally lame. I have watched people come in and slowly but surely twist his words until it finally ended up with people saying he said "someone must have snuck into my house and bought it and installed it on my PC" (paraphrased) This isn't some TV show where a person's inability to explain something to an interrogator's satisfaction = guilt.
I don't think people really understand how easy it is to manipulate what someone has said into being the opposite of what they actually did say. Typed words are especially easy to manipulate because there is no real way to convey any of the emotion or meaning behind that words that you would get if they were in front of you. Also if you can get the person flustered enough it becomes easier to twist their statements because you can often trick them into saying one thing even though they mean another.
I wanted to be a lawyer when I was younger. Have 4 people in my extended families who are lawyers (yes I know.. someone blowing up one of my family reunions really would make the world a better place lol) and I would often go with them to court. It is truly impressive to watch a person completely twist the statement of the witness. By the time it is over you can almost have the person who made the statement questioning their own account.
Good, good stuff.
If his accusers had let him completely explain himself with out jumping on every little thing it might have been easier. He didn't help himself much either. He kept saying that no one had shown any proof that he had done it and that the proof he had shown was enough to indicate that he hadn't done it. This isn't IRL trial. This is public opinion. As stupid as it is, you are guilty until proven innocent. Sucks a lot but that's the way it is. Humans aren't always good and noble creatures. We are cruel and petty and the need to blame someone > their right to be heard and explain.
Again.. As a whole I could give 2 sh*ts about this. I can't say I care about the Olympic scandal either.. It would suck if the people who were on her team had to give back their medals because of her cheating but oh well. Back on topic... I don't know hap, he isn't on my server, for all I know, he may not only be a user of that app thing he could be the one selling it. I was just pointing out that, in this case, he wasn't really given a fair chance.
His name was on the list so he must be guilty (and may very well be but that wasn't the point) and any attempt to say to the contrary is him trying to cover his butt.
