My response was referring to Ms Cook Lauers "moral compass" and her willingness to mislead and engage in hyperbole and guilt by association. Her compass needs a little calibration for starters.
You mention Billys perceived lack of one....this is weak for a number of reasons. First, none of us share the exact same compass points along the way of our respective lives, there is no socially uniform "True North". There are a myriad of small and large decisions that whenviewed collectively one can get a sense of a persons likelihood to behave in a moral manner. But no one is always traveling "due north", not the Pope, not the Dalai Lama, and certainly not Harry Kim. Or Billy Kenoi.
You refer to "decent person" after questioning my ability to perceive what you believe. The implication is that I am not such a person since I don't share your worldview. You then describe 3 elements of your complaints against Billy "...dishonesty, theft, and prostitution..."
I'll dismiss the prostitution charge as salacious, completely lacking in proof and a clear example of yellow journalism by Ms Lauer. You and others will have the opportunity to watch how the case unfolds in court with our justice system on full display. There will be no prostitution charges. Your repetition of the charge lacks decency. Theft is easier to prove than dishonesty, after all if you've taken something that doesn't belong to you and don't return it to where you found it then you have practiced theft. We shall see if this actually happened.
When you opine, be careful of your characterizations, especially when based on conjecture, It is a moral failure to impugn, slander,or cast aspersions on others character. As you maintain your own compass be sure to check its calibration, you wouldn't want you to fall into hypocrisy. But if you did, with these anonomyous boards, only you would know.
Let he who is without sin....
