Weak Bonds analogy? I still do not get it. It is the same thing. People look at Bonds and say "Oh well there is no proof he took steroids". People look at Stapp and say "You can't KNOW he's a jerk".

They are the same thing. (As for your minor point about the grand jury testimony, first off, no one in their right minds thinks thatall he took was the cream and the clear, second, the fact that he says he "unknowingly" took these things is also ridiculous. The testimony has no bearing on the situation at all)

The Bonds analogy is weak. Bonds admitted he took the 'roids(whether that was "unknowningly" or not). It's been proven he's taken the 'roids. Stapp has been called a jerk. Some people who have met him have said he was a jerk. On the opposite spectrum, some who have met him have said how nice he was to them. Thus, Stapp being a "jerk" hasn't been proven. Case closed, as far as I'm concerned, the two can't be compared. You want to compare Stapp to someone? Compare him to Bono or some other guy thought of as being a "jerk". But comparing him to Bonds is just plain silly.

Until it is proven that Stapp is a jerk(which it hasn't been), I'm not going to believe that he's an evil, horrible guy. There are good stories and bad stories about him. Like everyone else(myself included), I am sure he has had bad days where he really doesn't feel like dealing with some people. But, he's also had those good days where he can charm just about anyone. It goes both ways for him.
