Re: RC: RC: Re: Cause and Effect

Last time I read a post on this there was one person who "knew" the rider
and his name was not mentioned.  Has anyone heard the unknown riders story?
I mean, did he take responsibility for his actions? Did he deny he knew?  I
am sorry, maybe this was covered in another post.

>Don't misunderstand me...I am not defending the guy.  I think that what he
did was wrong, and probably a serious lack of judgement (and character), if
indeed he is guilty.  However, people that were involved in the accident
don't even know entirely what happened so I was a little taken aback that he
has been deemed "guilty by RC posting".  I would have thought that you of
all people would understand how unfair it is for somebody to be publicly
condemned without both parties being able to state their side of the story?
Or would you rather everybody on RC believe everything that has been written
about you?
