"[b:4a7bd499ac]many here are unwittingly and ironically proving one of Boyd's points about our justice system.
There is no way any of us can know who is telling the truth without any corroborating evidence.[/b:4a7bd499ac]"
Its okay to sit and judge in our court of public opinion based on however we feel....All of us do it..not too many facts...no harm, no foul?
Of course our courts would look for proof one way or the other, but we're not in court here, just guys talking...Lets not mix public opinion with our legal system.....cept I do think on a subconscious level the two meld...and thats a problem.
Mis-perception is reality

[quote:575d7ee10c="Mr. Baseball World"]No one here can know the truth. As far as I have seen no one has said they know who is telling the truth. That does not mean they can't look at the evidence and say given the evidence at hand who they believe at this time based on the evidence at hand. As more evidence comes out, they may change their opinion.
There is a difference between disputing a known fact and the Boggs/Boyd situation.[/quote:575d7ee10c]
Really?
Then why is mr. boyd being referred to as an idiot, stupid, ignorant, beer can boyd, and a number of other insulting phrases, while Wade Boggs is just Mr. Boggs?
PS- Im glad some people have expressed how they feel- this forum THANKFULLY isnt the jury- its a debate we are having.

I could call Rush Limbaugh all sorts of names. That does not mean I know whatever he might say is a lie.......I might tend to disbelieve him. Only one person in the last 2 or 3 pages went down that road regarding Boyd so be careful not to impugn the motives/character of others.

If Boyd is going to make an allegation like that, he needs more than an expletive laden rant to win over the general public.

I agree...but I'm not sure he is trying to win over the general public, probably just ranting...I mean would Boyd say and do half the things he has if he was looking to win over public support

Probably not trying to win over public support..........but with his new book, his comments sure are generating buzz/interest that most likely would not have been there without some bold statements................be they true or not. That can't be to bad for book sales. :wink:
