Do you knew him?

How is it possible that you catalog a person as a "sexual predator" without any proof?

I didn't catalig anyone. Do you know that the quote sign (") stands for quotes?

Sure, the quotes, how could I have been so oblivious... Then, what do you mean with "someone like this"? Why would it be inappropriate to make a dedication?

"I was just quoting someone else" is the classic cause for how misinformation/disinformation spreads on the internet.

I'm not saying you're wrong about him, I have no idea. But you're clearly amplifying and spreading the accusation. You have some responsibility to find out if it's true before doing so. Now that said, I don't want to let everyone else on here off the hook by blaming you. They also have a responsibility to take your statement with a grain of salt too. But we can only control our own behavior.

I'm not taking a position on whether we have free will or not. In fact I'm somewhat convinced that we don't ;-)
