Despite some posters claiming the moral high ground like it’s Iwo Jima, I don’t see any problem with posters on an Illini forum speculating on internet rumors regarding the Illini’s star player. It’s just not a big deal. Certainly not something to get all self-righteous about.
I actually kind of take a little exception that we apparently aren’t allowed to give TSJ—by all accounts a really good kid—some benefit of the doubt. It’s not just because we want him unsuspended and it’s kind of insulting that insinuation has been made. Pretty much everyone, here or on Twitter, has said if he’s indeed guilty that he should pay the price.
I also don’t think HQ posters should be lumped in with accounts on Twitter that literally exist to troll people.
