For example,
in a society that prides itself on the legal fiction of a presumption of
innocence, one would like to believe that public opinion would be held in
abeyance at least long enough for the initial garbled news reports to get
sorted out. In fact, most of us have already got a pretty good idea of how
Vang's eventual trial will.....and SHOULD.....work out. Is this fair?

Yep. As long as we're not going to be on the jury. The legal fiction
is for the courts. It's a good thing, but doesn't work socially.

Now if we _act_ on our ideas and go try to lynch the alleged killer,
we're under the legal fiction ourselves and find out that jail isn't
so fictional.

BTW, yes I do use an anonymous email address, and no, I'm not trying
to hide behind it. I'm just wary about email harvesters, and really
don't want people emailing me unless I say so.

Hm.......that sounds a lot like hiding.

Heh, you are correct, I AM hiding. But only for the reasons stated.
The only reason I remarked about it was because, being a long time
lurker here, I know that *some* find that anonymous seems to equal
troll. I assure you I'm not. But isn't that what they all say

Probably just go back to lurking now.

Oh. My mistake. I thought you said you weren't hiding.

But only for the reasons stated.

Ah.......yes........well.

troll.

True, true. On the other hand, *some* find that it equals vacuous. Others,
it appears, find it cowardly. Yet others find it suspicious. And others
still can't quite think of a reason to give a ****.

I assure you I'm not.

You may rest assured that your assurances are given all due consideration.

But isn't that what they all say

Ah! Har, har, wot?

Probably just go back to lurking now.

O.k., mind that door.

How does my wish that no one I don't know *personally* not have my
email make me vacuous? I just happen to find that broadcasting ones
email address is stupid, which as you probably know, can also fall
under the term vacuous. As for giving a ****, seems you did. Post your
phone number, and well talk, my dime.

I assure you I'm not.

You may rest assured that your assurances are given all due consideration.

Well thanks for that.

Damn, hit me in the ass.

I like that you are an equal opportunity abuser No matter "which
side of the fence" or just right down the middle an opinion or
statement comes from, your there with your ambiguous comments

You must be bored, or at least more bored than me.
