> Maybe he just raped a girl.

If you seriously believe that, than you are either very naive or lying to yourself. It is obvious that influential people who feel threatened by Wikileaks fabricated the whole incident.

How else could it be? Think seriously about it. If you manage to convince yourself that there is a real chance of rape happened, then tell me how you did it. Maybe you can convince me too.

So, your assumptions are “obvious” and someone else assumptions are just a result of them not thinking seriously? Maybe it is you who should re-think their position?

> Maybe it is you who should re-think their position?

Maybe. That's what I offered already. So, can you convince me?

Sure. Beeing in a very public position does not mean you are incapable of raping people, see Weinstein.

Maybe Assange is innocent. Maybe the allegations are true. We just dont know right now, but neither of these options is obvious right now

I don't think it's anyone else's responsibility to convince you of anything. If you want to take part in this conversation, how about you explain the reasons for your position instead?
