General Discussion

... some sort of admission of guilt or wrongdoing. By the time the bandwagon had started rolling from the initial loud and largely self-serving attacks against Franken, the damage had been done. While there were some who joined the pile-on activities at Franken's expense, others were also seeing that the saboteurs had won, that the damage was done, and they were encouraging his resignation to save the party from an internal split... not because they agreed he had done anything wrong.

There are many smart people online who know how to avoid making an outright accusation that smears Franken. But I'm smart enough to read between the lines, and to know when something is being insinuated... and what the effect is with the abbreviated and context free summaries of "well, he did choose to resign after all". So, sure... I'll "let it go" as soon as the bullies and other revisionists and excuse-makers start telling the truth. Until then... I'll be here.
