Rob, this is nonsense. *An investigation is not a trial. *A bunch of
people trying to acquire and evaluate evidence is not a trial. *A
newsgroup discussion is not a trial. *FWIW, pay less attention to
Innes -- he's extremely imprecise in his use of language.
Hi Mike,
Lafferty said"what Troung has done". Lafferty and others have assigned
themselves judge and jury. And you are right that a newsgroup is not a
trial. Yet we have all this talk of evidence and a crime. Not only
that we have discussions of punishment. Sounds a lot like a trial to
me. :-) If people want to banter about innane things, thats fine. But
to convict someone in the court of public opinion and the penaly being
the loss of his reputation, is wrong. It's been sent to court. Thats
where the validity of the argument should remain.
