I'm not defending Polanksi, he clearly should be held to account, having
anything to do with a 13 year is all sorts of messed up.
I think the outrage of Epstein at MIT is more about MIT knowingly taking
money from a convicted pedophile who had a lot of rich friends, and then
trying to cover it up. It's stunningly stupid that MIT would risk their
reputation over $7.5M. That's .1% of their endowment at the time. The
people involved, in my opinion, should give the money to a worthy charity
and resign for the sake of the institution. MIT doesn't deserve these
people, they need to go.

If it really was just about his views, his views
have been consistent
for a long time and MIT didn't care.
The outrage over Epstein is so un-balanced I have a strong desire to vomit.
Not that I have any feeling at all that Epstein didn't deserve what he got. My
disgust is that Roman Polanksi, who did exactly the same thing to a 13-year
old, was defended and lionized by a long list of entertainment world figures
after his arrest in Switzerland - many of whom are now falling all over
themselves to condemn Epstein.
