It's not good to conflate healthy skepticism with the belief that one is an outright liar. We know so much about the fallibility of memory and how bias affects recounts of events these days.

Are you seriously claiming that ultrahate is just demonstrating healthy skepticism?
I made no such claims, however dandelany was strongly suggesting the contrary.

Is very close to a personal attack. This doesn't need to turn into the CCN or Fox news comment section...

If somebody with "hate" in their name responds to credible accusations of sexual malfeasance with false interjections of "but there's no proof", then we're already approaching Fox-News-comments levels of quality.

If you aren't claiming that ultrahate is displaying healthy skepticism, then what do you think he's doing? And why is that valuable enough that you took time to defend it?
