Re: When it comes to sexual assault and harassment allegations should we ‘Believe Women’?

ThirstyJon — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 06:00:04 -0000

Yes, I know I am commenting on an old post. :-)

I have frequently thought that "always take women's allegations seriously" was a more useful phrase.

Well, a lot has happened since this post came out.

"Commenter,"

That article that you linked to mentions that some women who were supposedly accusers have publicly repudiated that any abuse occurred and have stated that their names were used in accusations without their approval or agreement (my words).

Do you know anything about where I can find out more about that?

Wow. That is interesting.

I look forward to the whole investigation being completed and I hope that there is no compromise involved when seeking truth.

No, I have not seen it.

Is it out there publicly somewhere?

I just searched for something like that and Google is only showing the same articles about this that were there from when I first heard about it.

It does seem that different people and groups start out with a bias when things like this come out and then interpret everything based on that bias.

Human nature.

I just read an article that said "IHOPKC leaders have not said whether they have reported the allegations to police."

Read more at: https://www.kansascity.com/...

So I suppose another possibility is that the police HAVE been called or involved in some way and we just don't know that publicly yet.

It is realistically possible that criminal behavior is not a part of whatever has happened.

I do not know one way or the other.

But maybe the police have not been called because no crime has been committed or the statute of limitations is expired, or some such reason.

In one of the pieces of content coming out from IHOPKC they had said already that there would be an independent 3rd party investigation. At least that is how I remember it.

I did find Allen Hood's statement and he called for an independent 3rd party investigation while also stating that the leadership at IHOPKC had assured him that this was in fact their plan.

If you have the letter and are not going to post it, I am not sure there was any value in bringing it up at all.

I am unable to read much of the top part of this article due to some error on the website.

It looks like the menu and other things are covering over much of the top of the article.

This seems to be the case with at least some other articles as well. (I, of course, did not check them all).

Re: Facebook Fan Page vs. Profile: Know the Difference

ThirstyJon — Fri, 26 Apr 2019 17:39:06 -0000

I have been doing some research regarding this statement in the article: "Using a Profile to share for-profit content is actually a violation of Facebook’s Terms of Service and can result in deletion of the account."

I could not find anything in the Terms that states that - unless I am having some kind of mental fatigue and missing something obvious.

Could you point out where in the Terms that it says that?

Or... Possibly that has changed between the writing of the article and now?

"Simple Man" is right, Luis.

I have found the Reconstructionists that I have read and followed to be the OPPOSITE of trying to establish God's will on earth primarily through political means.

They are almost all libertarians to some degree. (small L)

I just tried it for VLC.

It did not work for that program either.

I have tried this solution and it does not work on my system.

I am using Windows 10 on a high resolution Lenovo Flex 5.

Icons on Windows Media Player are still tiny.

As far as I can tell WinPatrol is dead.

I am a paid user and they have just been ignoring my support requests.

The program is not working well and I can't get any help.

Anybody know of a better bit of software?

I'm afraid I've wasted my money on WinPatrol.

In the Bible nations begin as descendants of the same family.

A nation is basically an extended, extended family.

Then with the giving of the law via Moses a nation became a people with a common religious belief committed to a single set of law (although even this was basically an extended, extended, extended family which one could join by conversion).

Is this satire?

Or is the author really this stupid?
