first tweet he made with third claim had to be at least 5 weeks ago if not longer
yet notta, zilch, squadush from Roberts in terms of a cease & desist or a defamation lawsuit !
maybe he cant find a good defamation attorney?
or more likely he knows Lin has the evidence?
If I were to make such a claim here, about you - that is, call you a pedo - would you feel obligated to respond to me in any way? If the assertion is blatantly false, wouldn't you just ignore me as a crazy dude on the internet? Responding to me would dignify and continue the assertion. Put another way; if you were to accuse me of being a pedo, and I know I am not a pedo, how would I even begin to prove that I'm not? How does anyone prove they are NOT something? I could be a God-fearing, 'perfect' guy but if you want to believe I'm a pedo, I don't think there's anything I could possibly to do prove you wrong. So - I think I'd just ignore you, which is what Roberts is obviously doing.
couple of things...
you and i are unknowns with no public persona and not much influence
for roberts to bring claim he'd be demanding from Lin that HE PROVE he had a basis for his outrageous claims. without a basis Roberts very likely wins given the harm to his persona from such a wild claim. Roberts would have no obligation to prove a negative
Right you are, as the old Roman law states: negative facts must not to be proven (negativa non sunt probanda).
