I'm glad you're not a judge. It would be awful for a judge to express such emotion and absolutism in the dismissal of even the possibility of harm caused by one

I'm glad you're not a judge. It would be awful for a judge to express such emotion and absolutism in the dismissal of even the possibility of harm caused by one of the most famous people on Earth very publicly calling a person a pedophile.
- WalterBright 7y ago> I'm glad you're not a judge. I'm glad I'm not, either. I would take no pleasure in punishing people, even those who richly deserve it. I would also be uninterested in hearing a case from two silly people who really should settle it with a mutual apology and a handshake.
- eropple 7y agoMutual apologies don’t rectify one of the most influential people on earth slandering someone who is decidedly not.
- WalterBright 7y agoThe world would be a lot better off if people settled their differences with a mutual apology and handshake rather than attempting mutual destruction.
- eropple 7y agoSure. And it’s literally impossible to do so when one of those people is effectively beyond any consequence for anything that they do. Peasants don’t get to shake hands with barons. Ours have a legal system to (sometimes, not always) even things out just a little, though.
