Is THIS what we're in for now? Negating the horrors that HAPPENED, because it might make somebody LOOK BAD?????

SCREW that! It HAPPENED! We should be learning from it, not trying to excuse it or pretend it didn't happen or otherwise try to sand down all the rough edges. Those rough edges need to remain rough, and painful, and cutting, and bloody. Those wounds need to remain open, NOT covered up or "massaged" or pretended away, to save some people's "feelings."
