Thank you for the time warp, which is very similar to when I have parital strokes and get stuck as a teenager in the late 80's and talk endlessly about needing to go fill up our four gallon tank with water (drink tap water in LA? Suicide much?), and how to avoid getting sucked into a cult where you pass out pamphlets on the street in order to get fed and have your "new name" which is Moon Earthchild. <BR/><BR/>Starting a research project when Princess Di was still alive, wow, that somehow hit home for me that.....YOU'RE OLD!

Do you have a link? Or is this a fantasy of yours?<BR/><BR/>The only comment that I found that I wrote on ABB was about this incident was about how the media framed race, particularly whiteness, around the case. In that comment, I was careful to use the term "alleged rapists."<BR/><BR/>In actuality, Joey7777, I rarely commented on the Duke Case on other blogs (best as I remember -- and it has been several years now). And, once again, I never wrote an entry on the incident on this blog.<BR/><BR/>Whatever the case, I have no problem apologizing if I explicitly or implicitly declared them guilty without a fair trial. If I really did write "they're guilty" (which doesn't sound like me as I am usually more cautious, but who knows?), that was unjust.

If you can show me one post of yours where you take a different view of the case (after your "they're guilty" post on Angry Black Bitch) then...If you can give one statement on the New Black Panthers invited to Durham to chant "Guilty" at the falsely-accused (singling out the Jewish Reid Seligmann and his family). Or having the players and their familys' addresses handed out by activists to the Panthers and every other nut. The DNA lab withholding evidence. The homophobic Victoria Peterson. The subsequent lawsuits.
