Title: Kevin Spacey is a non person, should this be extended?
Post by: Humph Warden Bennett on November 17, 2017, 12:56:30 PM

I am uneasy with this. It's not a matter of whether Spacey prefers snails, or oysters, he is being judged by his employers before anything has been to trial. Laurence Harvey was not by all accounts a nice man, nor Maxwell Reed, yet nobody has ever suggested digitally replacing them in any of their films.

Non-person - hmmm

Shades of the Soviet Union and the Gulags - bit harsh,

Either charge him, arrest him ort whatever LEGAL process is applicable.

I have the greatest of sympathy for those people subjecterd to any for of sexual attack, but are we not6 in danger of setting a band wagon rolling - I don't like him, he didn't give me the job - I have my revernge for that!

I truly hope it doesn't happen but these "historical" incidents where theer is only one accuser who has said absolutely nothing for more that 10, 15, 20 years . . . ?

I want justice for the wronged but I don't want to see long careers riuined by false accusations.
