You're free to disagree or challenge any statement, but character assassination is something else. This is modern witch hunting. This is bullying. What if I had then gone and killed myself. You don't know me. No context should ever justify bullying. And if you'd asked me whether I am a defender of abusers, I could have writted how I am not. Yet, you've already made assumptions to the contrary. > your own close-mindedness. What I said could also be interpreted as open-minded. You just don't appreciate the context in which it was practiced. To only be able to see things in specific ways to the detriment of others and yourself is close-mindedness, similar to what you have demonstrated with your views. > If someone needs help, let's help them. Public shaming helps no one. Take Bill Cosby, since he's been found guilty of acts, not just speech. Do you think Cosby needs any shaming beyond the facts? If you're going around spewing hate regarding someone who has already shamed themselves by their own actions, what exactly does anyone need you for? And what exactly are you doing? Sean Connery is the same. What he said embarassed him enough. People already hated him enough for it and punished him at the time. If you want to help DV victims then let's help DV victims. Shaming a dead Bond does little for your cause, just as shaming Dr. Huxtable will do little or nothing to protect anyone that needs help now. No DV perp is going to read what you wrote and change their ways.
