"Before the room goes too far left over this post, questioning someones intent and non-actions who lived a long time ago in many diferent era's, let us for speculative reasons, consider this for those era's and people in question."

The reason they didn't say anything has to revolve around a simple question they asked themself? Think Mark Twain when reading..

"When examining the issue at hand, I have asserted that nothing good can come from my actions, in response to revealing to the world, World baner Mr. BlahBlahBlah, is a pedophile, a thief, a womaniser, a killer and a husband and father of 4 children,in fact, I know to challenge this man could infact, be the downfall of my career or be the one thing that could end my life abruptly." Nope not me, I will let time tell it's tale..

I could see someone thinking this way, hell, the same way most still do today!
