I appreciate what hosts do, even if they maye me want to cuss at times.

Second, I'm part of the 66-67% of responders to the poll that would like to see this topic go to a more entertainment/infotainment area of the site.

If true, it's a terrible story of abuse. If false, it's a terrible slander. However, if it wasn't Woody Allen, few (if any) would care. Since no charges have been filed, and none of the comments of any of the concerned parties about the abuse are actually verifiable, to me, this is celebrity gossip.

Depends if the article conforms to the SOP of the forum. n/t Tx4obama Feb 2014 #6

SOP of GD says no showbiz topics OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #10

The GD SOP says '... unless there is really big news ... " Tx4obama Feb 2014 #12

Yes, sexual allegations against celebrities are really big news muriel_volestrangler Feb 2014 #19

If the case were being considered by a State's Attorney or a Grand Jury. sure OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #23

I've noticed that discussions about external topics rapidly become all about DU & other DU members Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #33

Yes, I've noticed that, too. One particular group has a set of whiners and rather vicious CTyankee Feb 2014 #34

The allegations are 20 yrs old. Hardly LBN. baldguy Feb 2014 #20
