The only defense I can offer is that I don't have a lot of hot buttons but pedophiles and those who enable them are right at the top. If there is a hell I hope they reside at the very bottom. If not then I hope the courts can effect a similar punishment. In this case to me it seemed obvious that the abuse couldn't have endured for over a decade without complicity by those who should have ended it.

Come on back A2 if you like - I like reading your posts even when I don't agree. That's why we have this forum.
You win the Post of the Month Award. Well put, Raymo.

I am glad this is behind us. I too could be in a similar situation in the future and I hope I have the mental strength and fortitude that you displayed to come forward and put this away as a bygone.

Although I was hurt and offended (that day) I let it slide as the evening passed. You were not attacking me but rather a view I held.

I am proud to call him my very good friend.

Thanks JB. You are too kind. I am proud to call you a friend as well

Thanks to all the others that were supportive both here in this thread and outside of it (you know who you are). All of you make S2KI a great place to be and I am happy to know you all

As my initial post for this long running thread began about the media, I would like to draw your attention to good new TV series. For those of you who subscribe to HBO, I highly recommend a new series called "Newsroom". They have shown four shows to date and if you missed them you can catch-up using On-Demand, Premium channels, HBO series to watch from the beginning.

I literally just finished watching the first episode, it is amazing! What news used to be before it became entertainment.

Agreed. I've been watching it and I think it's one of the very few things on television that is actually worth watching. Outstanding writing and an excellent cast.

Out of the record books, $60M in fines and lawsuits to come. JoPa did a "great" job for PSU. It's a shame that he brought some much bad notoriety on such a good educational institution.

As for Joe Paterno, and all involved in the cover-up , they have caused too many problems for a fine university. But it a university and not a football farm.
