That is true in most cases, but in this case it was discussed privatly by a few. It was not brought out to the public until AFTER it was proved.
I agree with this for the most part, but I do have to say that I personally think that it should be brought out to the public ONLY AFTER it has been proved of course. That way we are preventing other failthful, honest members from being sucked into lies & deceptions.

I do agree that it is NOT right to point fingers if you have no proof!
