Since M1EK is still banned from Homer Central for being substantially less of a jerk to the previous moderator than #teambanned was to the current moderator, geriatrician this shall serve as my response to about eleventy-billion comments of the form:
“Paterno DID report it to the police! Gary Schultz! What else was he supposed to do? Go vigilante?”
Dear fools:
Gary Schultz had financial oversight of the campus police department. He was an executive in the organization that had every incentive to cover up the crime rather than investigate it. He is NOT A COP. He does NOT WEAR A BADGE.
The media that you keep attacking for “not knowing the facts” does in fact know the fact that Schultz had financial oversight of the police. They, seeing as how they have brains that aren’t clouded by blind loyalty, have concluded, as have many of those like me, that he DOES NOT COUNT AS “THE COPS” for the reason that he, again, does not wear a badge; does not work in law enforcement; and had natural incentives to cover up the crime rather than investigate it.
And Paterno knew that. So if he only went to Schultz, as it appears he did (stay tuned for future post blasting a hole in the “bbbbut we don’t know what else he did!” claim), he did the bare minimum required by law, but he did NOT “go to the cops” in the way most people would understand it.
So, homers?
Shut up. Again, just shut up. You’re making it worse every time you open your mouths.

“Paterno DID report it to the police! Gary Schultz! What else was he supposed to do? Go vigilante?”
Dear fools:
Gary Schultz had financial oversight of the campus police department. He was an executive in the organization that had every incentive to cover up the crime rather than investigate it. He is NOT A COP. He does NOT WEAR A BADGE.
The media that you keep attacking for “not knowing the facts” does in fact know the fact that Schultz had financial oversight of the university police.
A fairly representative sample from NPR:
As the senior vice president for finance and business — which gives him oversight of university police — Schultz, 62, has been charged with covering up abuse allegations.
Note the word “oversight”. They do not say he is a cop. They know he is not a cop, as should you.
The national media, seeing as how they have brains that aren’t clouded by blind loyalty, have concluded, as have many of those like me, that he DOES NOT COUNT AS “THE COPS” for the reason that he, again, does not wear a badge; does not work in law enforcement; and had natural incentives to cover up the crime rather than investigate it.
And Paterno knew that. So if he only went to Schultz (and Curley), as it appears he did (stay tuned for future post blasting a hole in the “bbbbut we don’t know what else he did!” claim), he did the bare minimum required by law, but he did NOT “go to the cops” in the way most people would understand it.
And again, note from Item The First that these are just the university police. Most folks in the national media would not consider them under the umbrella “the cops”, but even if they did, you lose on Schultz not being a university “cop”.
So, homers?
Shut up. Again, just shut up. You’re making it worse every time you open your mouths.

This comment by user “OctaShields” resulted in a temporary ban that was protested vigorously for days by people who insisted that the old moderator would NEVER have banned somebody for directly attacking him:
NOTE “throbbing boner” and other such attacks.
COMPARE AND CONTRAST:
THIS comment was made from an unidentified induhdividual to that same old moderator referenced above (the one who would never ban anybody for attacking him or disagreeing with him) after a particularly distasteful personal attack was made (TO the commenter, psychiatrist not by him) a couple of comments upstream (follow the link above and use the scrollbar to see it):
NOTE: The “H” word is “homer”.
And THIS is what that commenter got immediately afterwards, orthopedist and for every visit since (years, now):
So, #teambanned, I can expect you to stop the false narrative that the old guy was a kindly overseer who didn’t care when people attacked him, right? Or that he had tolerance for dissenting points of view?
Note that over the couple of years following, several other posters were banned, and numerous others left of their own accord in response to a perception of groupthink and a general lack of support for dissent among the “community”. At the time this image above was first generated, the “community” was fairly new and it was fairly truthful for the old moderator to make the claim that he had only banned one other person; but by the time the site changed hands, that was no longer the case.
