I am not "hiding from the truth", nor do I think it is right to suggest anyone else is here. Some of us simply acknowledge the greatness of a man's achievements, which in my view (and it would seem of others) outweigh the actions he took in his youth in the struggle for freedom.
That a man can reflect, learn, find other ways to achieve great things is to his credit in my view.
Those who hold their freedom of speech dear and abhor any form of censorship, enjoy their freedom, are fortunate if they have not experienced being held down as an underclass in their own country.
Now I will leave you to have the last word, because I do think this argument is a sad reflection of the way a simple thread wishing a man who achieved great things to rest in peace is turned into a mission to diminish them.
