Reply #19: Massey's the one with the accusations to be proven.

[Igel]

We don't just assume the first person to make an accusation--much less a dozen of them--is telling the truth.

If Massey's not telling the truth--and that's a fairly easy thing to say, if the article, with it's verifiable claims, is accurate--then he's the one that has to prove his point. If, of course, the claims that he's inaccurate are plausible.

They sound plausible. The very fact that the claims against Massey are verifiable and diverse, frequently involving quotes from Massey that a Lexis-Nexus search should turn up, lends credibility to those saying his accusations are false.

Whether or not he's lying depends on whether, knowing the truth about the matter, he's willfully saying untruths. He might simply be mentally ill.
