  • Does this ruby actually exist? There seem to be almost no references to it online. A Rolling Stones article, OP’s link, and a couple of reddit posts. It does not appear on Wikipedia’s list of world’s largest rubies. As recently as last year, this would have placed #1 on world’s largest rubies sold.

    Something smells fishy here.












  • I’m all for supporting women. Give them a chance to speak out, make sure they are fairly listened to and taken seriously. You’ve gone a step beyond that, you’ve already decided guilt and innocence and proclaimed it. More, you’re doing so from a position of influence (yes, as a moderator of a large community, that’s what you are). This is the sort of thing that libel charges get filed for (ok, not gonna happen at our current size, but you may want to start keeping that in mind.)

    Why would you default to that?

    Because that’s the basis of our legal bloody system! Innocent until proven guilty! There’s a thousand law professors out there who can explain it better and more eloquently than I could in a thousand years, but that’s the gist of it.

    You do not need a conviction to make up your mind.

    That’s correct. We do, however, need a conviction before stating it as fact instead of opinion.

    Not only are you siding with the party with no evidence

    I beg to differ. I have not sided with any party. What is it about people today that they seem unable to grasp the concept of neutrality?
