Re: [FWDLK] '58 DeSoto Adventurer

I continue to believe Leslie,  that until you fully
understand BOTH sides of any story that making the
accusation public only serves to inflame and possibly could
cause embarrassment to yourself as well.

If in fact the hearsay that you purport to be true is true
and someone did get burned by another doing something shady
or dishonest, then yes I would let the group know.

I would not under any circumstances make accusations on
hearsay though.
