"At the risk of being flamed I will say this; I have known this guy for several years. Not me, not you, nor anyone else is entirely innocent of everything. We will all err to some extent at some time or other. Given the correct set of circumstances or pressures, we will all crack, ALL."
Note your use of the term 'err'. If the above statement wasn't specifically referring to the alleged then it's a bit of irrelevant waffle so it's deduced you are referring to his actions as having been an 'err'. Consider yourself flamed.
