I haven't made up my mind in this election, and I'm sorry that your event was interrupted. But I think you might want to take some time and reconsider your tone above.
Ron's a good guy, personally known to many people here, and made clear efforts to find and cite sources for his opinions. I'm not going to write off someone's candidacy based on comments from more than 20 years back, but your first response above, the one with the claim that "You are probably the same person who is spreading the homophobic idea that Charles is a pedophile[.]", is just bizarre and off-putting. This is the first I've heard of such a slander, which is of course abhorrent. But it's not coming across well to me that you're conflating a specifically sourced and documented criticism with baseless slanders, and assuming that one implies responsibility for the other.
