I will say he was never anything but extremely nice to me. The only reason I decided to respond is because I don't like seeing a friend shamed publicly on here when there was no need for it and they're not here to defend themselves, and this isn't the first time I've seen someone beaten down in a similar way.
I understand your point of view, and I was initially content to not go into any real detail about it. But people often put him on a pedestal and treated him like he could do no wrong. It was one of the sole reasons that made some people afraid to step forward about what was going on, from what I understand. I get tired of seeing people defend him, knowing what he did. If you had posted saying simply that you disagreed I might have let it go. But you basically called me, and a number of others, liars.
The "He was always nice to me, so he must be innocent" sentiment is something that people often use in situations like this to justify blaming the victims instead of those that are actually at fault. Considering this is a situation that affected me personally, I don't appreciate it. I know what he did. He knows what he did.
