88. I truly don't grasp the relevance.
I don't have to like him personally to appreciate his work.

His work doesn't prevent him from possibly being a villain in some other aspect.

What's wrong with having sex and enjoying with different people if you are not committed?

The charges seem to border on the logically impossible. The sex acts are by all accounts consensual but there are questions regarding condom use.
What I don't get to this charge. I can't imagine how a tampering case would be proven beyond a rational or reasonable level of doubt and the sex without a condom case doesn't make any sense at all.

If she says no, condom or no, then it is rape. If she says yes then it isn't. If she said yes but conditioned on a condom and he forced himself then we have rape.

None of this is affection for Assange, such doesn't exist. It is his work that is close to my heart, the workings of the man are unknown to me.

I think some but not all of this tact is projection. Do you guys like actually love these folks from afar or something similar? Assange makes me think of what Bill Maher would look like if he was a zombie or a vampire or something but that is just not connected to his service.

The stuff all mixes and matches y'all. You can respect someone and fear them. You can love and not trust. You can trust without passion. There is passion without love.
All kinds of combinations.

Complication due to yes or no thinking. High levels of positive or negative quality do not guarantee carry over into other areas.
Virtually everyone is a shade of gray. Few are completely corrupted and less are purely altruistic.
