I think it’s also important to remember that 1) this goes both ways. Guys crotches can smell like ass too. And 2) Smelling “bad” isn’t a diss on you. Pheromones play a big role in this. A woman can smell unpleasant to one man, but smell like roses to another (also the flip side with men). I think the important lesson…

Hey right back at you asshole.

To you. You seem to have a different standard than others as to what constitutes remorse.

Not to me.

I tend not to ostracize people I care about. I ask them if they need help and then provide it should they say yes. I also don’t label them predators if they show remorse.

Hah!

Then you have no story.

No they didn’t. They had reports but no verified facts. They tried but couldn’t get anyone on the record. Journalists don’t run stories based on rumors and unverified facts. Tabloids do that. Want to release the story? Dig deeper.

Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat

Who cares? Point is that the NYT did it’s research and got it’s facts straight before running the story.
