Re: He should have stuck to what he knows

I notice a couple of things:

1. He had a bad idea about underage sex. People argued the point with him and he changed his mind. This is commendable.

2. "He down played rape of a minor." Did he though? We already noted he had changed his mind on the issue. Is it possible that he actually said the offender didn't know he was committing an offense due to the victim misrepresenting herself with the intent of leading the offender into the crime, probably for her own financial gain?

I wouldn't trust the twitter mob to be objective here.

Regarding statements like: "His statements don't align with our values...", we seriously need to get away from the idea that organizations can represent the views of all members and the idea that members' views should be taken as representing the organization. Neither of those ideas can be true of any non-trivial organization. We need to stop pretending they're true and we need to stop agreeing with mobs which assert that they are.
