Your inability to acknowledge your error is telling. When one has the courage to admit his mistakes he earns some level of respect, as he is communicating a willingness to apply self criticism and a commitment to the truth.
He who is unwilling to do so, in the face of overwhelming evidence of his error, shows only that he lacks both character & credibility.
That this involves the nationwide demonization & doxxing of an innocent teenager makes yours all the more contemptible.
