Never corresponded with Epstein, and I never received any communication from him.

Okay, but you have to agree that not everyone casually mention in those “files” are guilty of _anything._

Well, yes.

The whole point of the thread is that many people & organizations are _not_ making that distinction. In those misguided folks’ minds, “in the files” is exactly equivalent to “confirmed pedophile monster”. There is very much a “shoot first, ask questions later” mindset out there. Not even a “guilty until proven innocent” mindset.

Good point- I have seen FB posts along the line of “Gather them all up and hang/shoot them.”
