Not trying to obscure anything... The "standard" you cited for judging moral character was ridiculous, plain and simple...
I'm not explaining or excusing anything or anyone... I'm merely pointing out the reality that there isn't a human being in existence who has not said something they wish they hadn't or had a regrettable association with someone in the course of their business and personal lives, yourself included... So, with that reality, how does that square with your own moral character? Again, don't bother to answer... Rhetorical...
Your back-handed attempt to insult me by passively questioning my moral character is quite laughable... I might be offended if I had not considered the source...The hypocrisy, sanctimony, and condescending arrogance on display here on a regular basis by some never fails to disappoint...
