so what are you saying? He's better than the others? Are you putting some sort of scale on what people do and don't do? Maybe people should do more, but that's not up to me or you to decide who is doing what or not doing enough. Everyone has their own reasons. For sure the average poster here is very contrite and sorry and full of remorse. They are also suffering from guilt and many other maladies. Yes, he is courageous and has done a wonderful thing. That is true. But I don't think you should be comparing others as if there is a standard to be met or that others haven't done enough. You're setting yourself up as some sort of judge and jury. In a way, that can have the effect of revictimizing people who were victims. Gasp, yes, there were victims also who were adults. I think there are a lot of SGs who know this too.

Maybe MovingOn should have a place for apologies from adults and they might hear more from the adult community.
