All fair and reasonable. I struggle with people calling others “cunts” based on “rumours” but you seem strong in your conviction and feel it’s based on “truth”.I tried to explain in my post. Not “rumours” as such, but information that was consistent and pre-dated his charges and subsequent trial/acquittal. I’ve never met him even briefly. If we were all were bounded by absolute personal experiences or encounters we’d only have opinions or views on very little in this world. I don’t like the rich and powerful taking liberties and see it as exploitative behaviour, others clearly think it’s okay and just part of life. I believed what people I knew actually said and have no reason to think they would lie - but others don’t know them so will naturally see things differently. That’s perfectly understandable and fine by me.
As we all know, internet and social media can be a bit of a strange place at times. I’ve said my piece on Spacey, explained it’s reasoning and will leave it at that. I don’t expect people with dissimilar perspectives to see things the same way - which is okay by me and I’ve no issue with them disagreeing.
If he did use his fame and fortune to his sexual advantage- and it was all consensual- I’ve no problem with that. If he was coercive and used his fame and fortune illegally, throw the book at him.
It seems the book has been thrown, caught, and summarily flung back.
