On 07 October, I'm attending court (4th time) to prosecute a crime from 1990/1. Guess why it took 25 years. Here's a hint. e

Well, good luck. Regardless of any disagreements we're having now, nobody here would wish for anything other than justice.

It would help if you don't tell people that they are constructing a conspiracy. You are not entitled to evidence. It's a choice.

I'm telling you how you are perceived externally. That's useful to you because it helps you put out a better perception next time.

I'm certainly not telling you you're wrong. I don't have evidence or the right to judgement. I'm telling you how it looks.

If social capital were a thing (it isn't), I've zero to lose. I'm the scapegoat for those who are unsure of that aforementioned.

You don't have zero social capital: Several people who've met you will robustly defend your character, against common perception.

That's not social capital. That's just being a human. It's a subtle difference, striking sharply on our point of disagreement.
