I made a mistake earlier. I posted something I should have researched more first. And I apologize.
And it wasn't even necessarily the message itself that was wrong. The message was pretty spot on in my opinion, however it was partly coming from a source which I found out after posting is seriously compromised.
In the end.. I think it's important to make a distinction between a person and the words they say.
It's my belief that words mean something regardless of the character who says them.
Words stand on their own.
If I say that dropping a rock will result in it falling to the surface below it, and Hitler said the same thing.. We would both be right despite how much you might not want to listen to anything Hitler said because of how corrupt and evil he was.
So.. Evil and corrupt people can definitely say true things, in fact.. This is one of the ways they blend in with people so well in the first place because they are so expert at pretending to be good and lying that they can say some really compelling things many will believe.
I liken it to the poison pill theory. The cleverest and most successful frauds will coat the majority of their message, maybe even 99% of it with truth.. And then slip in one devastating lie. And that's all it takes.
You can ruin people with 99% truth and 1% lie.. The poison pill, it kills.
So.. While I perhaps should have just kept it up and it could have been all true and the allegations against the person all wrong, I decided to delete it.
I just felt it was unhelpful in the long run and I don't wanna create unecessary drama right now.
I stand by the general message, and I don't make mistakes like these that often, yet.. I feel like it's good to own up to it when I do.
I made a mistake. I posted some stuff without looking into it deeper. I'm sorry. I'll continue to try to do better in the future! <3
