There are many levels of association.
For example, I might be invited to a conference. And I might decline that invitation. There now we're associated by those emails. Am I a horrible person now?
If that was an argument such people could make, they're welcome to present evidence.
However, anyone who voluntarily associated with the world's worst pedophile after his conviction has no excuse. Comparing people to the company they keep has been valid since the beginning of time.
The question was : am I a horrible person now?
I do strongly suspect so. That or bot.
They answered. If you have evidence that you declined, then no.
From the wording I'm willing to bet they did a bit more investigation than just doing a pass/fail on a Ctrl+f
They made a sweeping implied accusation two replies back, sans evidence, but now we want evidence.
Go roll in your own feces. I have zero interest.
Who is "we"?
Real mad that you got booted from DinoCon, hih?
Your constant stream of nonsensical replies says otherwise.
Says the pedophile apologist, lol.
Did you reach out to ask to be invited? Or did you receive an invite and decline it. Because we're talking about the former. We're talking about people who reached out to Epstein or his associates. They were in contact with.
So yes, that would make you a horrible person, especially after the allegations came out. And you're a horrible person for doing your absolute damndest to defend these people.
You got banned from Dinocon, didn't you.
