- krisoft 3y ago> If you can't get a conviction Just so we are on the same page. Here we "can't get a conviction" because the person resides in a country which doesn't care about the crime he committed. Not because the evidence does not pass the required evidentiary level. > don't have the right to ruin a life. Please explain to him how a life is ruined here? > Any deviation from this principle leads to mob rule. Where a mob is a single high profile individual with his reputation on the line, and this singular "mob" performed a through analysis and provides the full reasoning how he come to the conclusion. This "mob" rule does not look like the ones I usually hear about.

- pixl97 3y agoSo you approve what Krebs is doing then, since he is not anonymous and identifiable to be sued for libel?
