I have always wondered were some of his most ardent defenders went off too? We're talking about a sizable number of well respected, reputable members here who constantly seemed to not only rush to his defense but criticize those who questioned his behavior. Well known writers, veterans, etc. What is shameful is that once the curtain was pulled back, those same folks did not voice their condemnation or disapproval and, instead, chose to remain silent, slink away and put their heads in the sand, or claim to have more pressing commitments and began to sporadically post or cease activity here altogether. It would take some digging but I am positive that some here had considered donating a kidney, at one time or another.

Just an observation but an interesting one, at least to me.

I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.
