I understand what you're saying, pan, but I see this as an unfortunate and ugly reality of our society and as such, I want no part of it. I think it's pretty despicable regardless of whose name is being dragged through the mud. There is not only this man's life and privacy at stake, but that of his family's, as well. I'm going to stick to my conviction that the boundaries of a person's private life ought to be respected. Even in the face of all known reality about the way our society treats them.
