That line of thinking is part of why I choose to evaluate people the way I do.

Mere accusations are able to tarnish people's reputations. I dislike the fact that it happens, as well as the weakness of human minds allowing them to be led astray by such unproven accusations (dislike of the weakness, not the human - and I'm not necessarily blaming the person for having the weakness).

Even if the fact is unproven, the idea that He could be a paedophile can still influence one's thinking however, so I take an objective approach and reason that It doesn't matter even if he is a paedophile.

By writing off the "possible fact" as being irrelevant, I am more able to ignore the accusations and not judge someone based on mere possibilities or rumours.
