you could argue that but then what of the dms to gl17ch himself? Of course gl17ch's side is now deleted but graf's side of the conversation heavily implies he knew and now that it's out he must cover it up

<2022-07-08T05:43:42.000Z> graf: people are messaging me trying to get me to ban you for being a diddler or whatever. i dont think the time for that is now, im trying to defend not removing you on the basis i believe you were being honest with me
<2022-07-08T05:56:35.000Z> graf: im just saying that i dont think you deserve to be removed if what you said to us is truthful
<2022-07-08T05:56:46.000Z> graf: i can understand why people are upset with us, me specifically
<2022-07-08T05:57:04.000Z> graf: it looks incredibly bad on me and poast, but i dont believe that you deserve to be ostracized for something stupid
<2022-07-08T06:15:17.000Z> graf: if you've been honest with me then you have no reason to be, i will defend my decision for you to be on poast tooth and nail and push back against it. i have no reason to doubt you so i am asking those who are pushing me for onus, burden of proof that you were being dishonest with your explanation lies on them. anything looks bad on paper, especially when hundreds of laws dont exist for them to be outlined. having a sexual partner you may or may not have known the age of and/or a misunderstanding in an age gap is not the same thing as diddling kids and i understand that and thats the only reason i argued back. you being upfront with us is why i am pushing back. no reason to feel selfish if you were honest
<2022-07-08T06:24:43.000Z> graf: if you were being honest then i will give you the benefit of the doubt because you spoke to us and you spoke publicaly about it and thats fine. shit happens. im used to them calling me all sorts of shit so this doesnt really phase me much
