It's time to officially Pit Joe Paterno and the Penn State football program.

Considering how long it took to ban Cesario, are you suprised? He hasn’t even been warned.

Eh, the specific instance of sexual assult that has been such a bone of contention here is going to be judged at trial in a few months, and then, barring a plea agreement that leaves this one out, we’ll see what’s what. I suppose there’s a remote chance this one specific instance may have been included to pad out the indictment, but on the flip side we have sworn testimony, given independently by several of the victims, of numerous similar assaults carried out repeatedly by Sandusky in showers at Penn State athletic facilities. I fully realize that an indictment is not a presumption of guilt, but for cryin’ out loud, the idea that every one of more than fifty counts of similar assaults might be completely bogus, or that this one alone, of all others, is false seem a bit of a stretch.

SA can argue all he wants that Paterno is a victim of unfair accusations, but basing such an argument on a series of increasing absurd hypotheticals in order to claim that no assault happened at all seems pretty much a non-starter.

I tried to raise this issue in ATMB, and was greeted with complete indifference, so yeah.

But… but… paper towels! It’s factual!

I see what you did there! Err… :frowning:

Every time I think Starving Artist has reached the bottom of the barrel, he breaks out a hatchet and chops his way down to new depths.

That said, being a skeevy, intellectually dishonest moron is not, as it happens, a violation of the SDMB rules, so it’s not necessary to report any more of his posts in this thread, at least for those reasons. Thanks to all of you for keeping an eye out, and all, but he’s tragically in the clear so far.

However, please let me know if he goes from intricate, loving descriptions of child molestation to something truly heinous, like calling another poster a motherfucker. I’ll be all over that shit.

Let me just state that, from my personal experience, it is perfectly possible for a grown man of around 6-foot to fuck an 8yo boy in the ass in a standing position. A shortish-for-his-age 8-yo boy at that.

MrDibble, I admire you for stepping up and saying that. It’s a shame you had to do so.

+1. Thanks for the (horrifying and no doubt difficult, but cleansing) dose of real world truth.

Unfortunately SA probably needs a new keyboard right about now.

Thanks for the thanks, but I don’t think it’s merited.

I’ve never been shy here about saying I was raped (more than once) as a kid. I’m over it (well, I mean I don’t mind talking about it, I guess it’s not something you’re ever “over” in that sense.)

No, it is merited. Thank you for stepping up.

That is the horrifying thing about SA’s utter lunacy. There are people right here on this board who were sexually assaulted as children. To have their real-life experiences dismissed as physically impossible does them a grave disservice, and truly illustrates the vileness of people who would state/type such defenses of Paterno’s inability to act like a moral human being and report the behavior to the appropriate authorities.

Very wrong.

Non sequiter.

Incorrect.

Yes there is.

No you can’t.

Fuck, that’s horrid, and it makes me doubly disgusted with people who just excuse this kind of thing, or ignore it.

I’m so sorry that happened to you.

Well, I bet you’re DOUBLY overjoyed to discover not only did Sandusky not rape a kid, you’ve never been raped either! Quite a relief, eh?
(obviously this is sarcasm. I’m sorry for what happened to you, MrDibble.)

:smiley:

Are you trying to prove you’re as *childish *as SA, or as delusional, or both? Whichever, the entertainment value was exhausted long ago. And no such proof is actually necessary.

For whatever it’s worth, I’m deeply sorry as a fellow human that that happened to you, and especially that no adult prevented it from happening more than once.

Whereas the humour in witnessing you pound away on your keyboard in a blind rage, doing such stunts as deliberately and purposefully lying about the USCFR, casts you as a veritable King of Comedy.

Acknowledged.
