    This is like saying “I see he was murderer until he got caught”. No shit Sherlock some of those are past tense, because he got caught. If you want to go ahead and get exploited by a dickhead and his future pending scams go ahead.

    “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, and apparently I end up supporting the right wing all the time because I’m a dunce” is apparently how it works these days.

        Murderer is a noun. Once you’ve murdered that’s what you are, regardless of past or present or future. People can change, but that doesn’t change what you’ve done in the past and have become, because you can’t undo what you did.

        6 months to 5 years isn’t “A long time ago” btw. I think it takes at least a decade to start considering something a long time ago.

            What rehabilitation have the offending parties on brave gotten beyond amassing wankers who make excuses for them?

            After a significant amount of time. Longer than Brave’s blunders. And rehabilitation is not erasure. Likewise, murder enough and society will consider to instead remove the person from society as well instead of rewarding them.

              the time can be scarily short and quite rarely ends in life terms in civilized societies
