[ John asks if I will apologise if it turns out Len rose is guilty. ]

No. The article posted to the net was about stuff that Len has not
been convicted of yet. Just like any other American, Len is entitled
to be considered innocent until proven guilty. If he was
hypothetically convicted of those charges someday, it doesn't matter.
Len is still entitled to his rights today. I don't know nor care about
the particular details of this case. I don't know if Len was fired
merely because of hearsay or harrassment, but I can still say "if it
was hearsay or harrassment, that's a bad thing."

If Mr. DeArmond were fired because of a hearsay rumor, he would
probably not hold the views he does.
