But also the fact that someone who speaks often can provide ample evidence of many different and even conflicting beliefs. Here, I know I'm generally more charitable than most, but I know I've said things I wouldn't say again, and most people don't get their tweets curated.

I still think that a public comment or post that de Goes rejects Yarvins white supremacist views would go a long way. That that never happened suggests to me that not alienating those that support those views from his business was seen as more important.

please realize that you saying saying "but he's been so sweet whenever I've been with him", is worth nothing, there are hundreds of people that might be willing to offer such a thing up.... This isn't about you, or the people you've "witnessed extensively and exclusively"

I disagree that it's worth nothing. The complete absence of evidence is still a datapoint. We must have been to about 30 conferences together, and literally nothing about John's interactions with other people suggests he's anything other than friendly and welcoming to everyone.
