"The fact they all find this extremely credible right out of the gate says it all."

If instead there were a bunch of people saying, "wait! we just can't believe this! Not Eric!! He's nothing like that!!" .... but doesn't seem to be anyone saying that.

It's sad when an otherwise (seemingly) decent guy lets his dick take over like that. Probably with the help of booze ... but based on these allegations, he has had a problem for years and should have faced up to it instead of pretending it didn't happen or that it was okay.
