Technically, they’ve been found liable - not guilty - as this is a civil trial.

In this case, it’s a useless distinction that encourages people to still deny responsibility. “They said I had to pay something but I’m not guilty of anything.” Like the press still having to say “allegedly” when there’s a mountain of proof something did really happen.

It’s a technical distinction in law. Is he guilty of the things of which he’s been accused? Also yes, but in a colloquial sense.

As far as the “allegedly” thing goes with the press: I’m kind of on the side with agreeing with it, just because I know that if I were wrongly accused of a crime that made it to the press, I know I would want them to use the word “allegedly” until it was actually proven. 

Ok, enough with the pedantry!

It’s a technical distinction in law.

No fucking shit, my point still stands.

No fucking shit, my point still stands

Actually, it doesn’t. It’s the difference between civil and criminal law, and that’s a pretty big difference, not the meaningless one you stated it is, and if this is going to go from a nice casual discussion to a hostile argument, I’m not interested in participating further. Have a nice day.

Yea, my point about the effective uselessness does still stand, whether or not you agree with it. Feel free to not argue, you could have made that decision already.

It’s a civil case, so it’s not effectively useless. It’s the whole point. How do you not get that?

Well, look who’s back.

What part of the original commenter’s colloquial use of the word “guilty” did you not understand?

Outside the specific legal distinction, to the public at large, he’s guilty.

Do you need a picture drawn for you or something?

Well, look, who’s back.

This is where I stopped, reading your comment. Calm down, deal with your shit, and have a good night. 

Unconcerned.

Grow up

Came back from a three day weekend to this.

So the guy who got pissy over a common phrase meaning “Thank you, Captain Obvious” says someone else should grow up LOL.

Next time you want to play the “so what is it you don’t understand about this” game, pick someone else to target, or make an attempt to understand yourself. Some of us actually don’t like that game at all, but we are very adept players.

I hope you don’t think I read any of this. Get over yourself and give it up.

Then shut the fuck up and stop responding.

I’m not the one who keeps throwing tantrums because he can’t exercise the self-control to stop responding. Looks like this fun going to continue for a while.

I’m not the one who keeps saying he’s not coming back and not reading, yet keeps doing so anyway.

Oh, I’ll be back. See, you’re getting all mad, but this is fun for me 💋

Me: “No fucking shit.” You: “wahhhhhhh” storms off

Me: “Well, look who’s back.” You: “wahhhhhhh” storms off

Oh no, you might get mad, the least threatening thing on the internet.

Look how mad that made you, lol. You still can’t let it go. Like a child. lol

The funny part is I’ve never been mad. I was vaguely annoyed the first time, then amused ever since. You’ve been mad. I’ve just replied and you’ve whined about it.

I’m sorry you’re too dumb to understand the nature of your own replies.

lol, sure. Keep telling yourself that

“Grown person who repeatedly cries and leaves, vowing to not come back or read anything, keeps coming back to say someone else is childish and can’t let something go. News at 11.”

you’ve described yourself quite well.

Same could be said for yourself, I already explained in the “Well look who’s back” reply where you misunderstood, but you were too much a bitch to read it, and probably still too incompetent to understand it.

The fact you lack the self-awareness to understand you’ve been trolling yourself with ignorance is quite amazing.

just look how twisted you’re getting over this. keep coming back for more!

Got it, you cannot point to anything showing that I described myself.

Again, I have read everything, unlike yourself. I know exactly what’s going on. I’m not twisted on anything. I’ve made no declaration of not taking part.

You’re the delusional revisionist here, who lacks the self control to not reply, and the commitment to what you said you were going to not do. You’re doing nothing but projection, and anyone who actually reads the thread knows that.

lol, you think you’re in an argument you can win. you’ve already lost just by being here

See, now you’re actually describing yourself. You already lost by coming back the first time. This could have been done with my “no fucking shit” reply, but you continued arguing even though you clearly didn’t understand what was later explained to you in the “well look who’s back” reply. Which you didn’t bother to read, and then left again.

lmao, keep trying to convince yourself of that, kid. it wont stop me from laughing at you :P

I’m probably a decade or more older than you, you’re the one who didn’t understand something while asking what it was I didn’t understand. Then got pissy when it turned back on you, then cried about it and left. Feel free to laugh now, that doesn’t change the content of what you already ignored.

it’s funny you think that, yet you still keep coming back for more torment. how many days has it been now? lmao. zero self-control, and limitless fun for me!

I don’t think that, it’s proven in the replies for anyone to read, and you’ve demonstrated that lack of control you’re projecting since you came back the first time.

it’s funny how you still keep trying to blame me for your lack of self control and inability to stop tormenting yourself with his inane argument you lost days ago. i find it very amusing.

I didn’t lose it, you tapped out because you couldn’t handle something. Complained and left. The explanation is still there, you can read it any time, though you’re probably still to incompetent to understand it.

lmao, the only one you’re trying to convince is yourself, and i’m just enjoying the fact you can’t stop yourself from replying with your absurd argument XD

I’m also enjoying the fact you cannot stop replying, and are apparently incapable of being honest about it.

I mean, you cried and left multiple times, then came back later and said someone else should grow up. That is the definition of projection.

lmao, there you go again, blaming me for your own inability to control yourself. i’m enjoying watching your tantrums!

As said by the guy who repeatedly left and came back. Again, highly amusing.

tell me more about why that makes you throw tantrums for several days

I was gone on a three day weekend and didn’t think about this at all. Wasn’t on lemmy at all. That’s how much it bothered me. Not at all. If you didn’t want a reply when I got back, you should have taken your own advice and grown up. This isn’t a tantrum, my pulse hasn’t raised a bit. This had been explanations for you, not that you’re able to understand that.
