         | I am not sure how to interpret your sense of "oddity":
         | 
         | if somebody is investigated for something, it does not mean
         | they did it. The grounds to conduct an investigation are not
         | necessarily good. Innocent until proven differently.
         | 
         | You understand that some may find deeply disturbing that an
         | employer ceased the relation because of <<deeply disturbing>>
         | charges.
         | 
         | Anyone can be subject to error or defamation.
         | 
         | I read on these pages recently about Chris Avellone. Supposing
         | it was a case of gratuitous defamation out of "I thought he was
         | different" etc., what is the responsibility of the company
         | which dismissed him?
