ABOUT

I'm an observer who follows primary records, verifies claims, and shares what the evidence shows. I make the documents I reference available so others can verify the information and reach their own conclusions.

I remain grounded in the belief that truth-seeking and empathy are not opposites, and that accountability should not be confused with cruelty.

Passions

• Evidence-based analysis

• Primary records and original source materials

• Nuance in discussions of harm, power, and accountability

• Making complex documentation accessible without editorializing

Pet Peeves

• Claiming nuance while practicing bias in outcome

• Conflating criticism with bullying

• Treating accountability as cruelty

• Weaponizing empathy to shut down questions

• Demanding belief without evidence

• Framing skepticism as bad faith

• Abandoning principles when they constrain action

Non-Negotiables

• Transparency over performance

• Empathy without exemption from scrutiny

• Consent as a standard, not a convenience

• Principles that matter when they cost something

• Thoroughness before conclusion

• Consistent standards applied across cases, regardless of popularity or outcome

What This Is Not

• Advocacy on behalf of any individual

• Narrative management

• An attempt to persuade you toward a specific conclusion

• An instruction for how others should think, feel, or respond, nor an invitation to abandon independent judgment

What This Is

• A record-driven examination of claims

• An invitation to verify, not to agree

• Willingness to revise conclusions when the record changes
