On the one hand, I guess I really misjudged people here, and then again it appears I was spot on all along.

Hi Apple,
I will speak honestly here. I did send Jon private messages after he contacted me privately about his situation. After several messages, where I stressed Jon’s past statements of love and concern for his partner, I gauged that I could say what I wanted to say without fear for the safety of his partner Chris. When dealing in cyberspace, we are dealing with possible problems that are much worse situations than the masturbation that Dana mentioned. There is the possibility of homosexual panic and violence. I believe in situational ethics, where the situation helps inform what is ethical behavior under the circumstances. If you see me as a dishonest gossip, then I guess that there is not much I can do to change your opinion of me.
