I don't have any dog in that fight, but ....if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all? Doesn't that really pave the way for people to get away with bad behavior?

What if no one said anything bad about the guy who skipped out on their roof repair after taking a deposit? Or Ethan Couch? Or Adolph Hitler?

It must be OK to say things that are not nice sometimes, no?

While I understand what you're saying, Greg, It does not hold true that someone speaking ill of another person means that other person is, in fact, guilty of any bad behavior at all.

Edgar is spot on- talk is cheap.
