Precisely. If a person has been taken to court and there has not been enough evidence to convict him of the charge (in this case paedophilia), then he is presumed innocent of the allegations. Oscar Wilde was jailed for sodomy and gross indecency with men, ie for being a homosexual NOT a paedophile.

Oscar Wilde was a paedophile.

Yes he was

seems some think there needs to be a court document stating it for it to be true. No.

I defy anybody to read up extensively on Oscar wilde and not come away knowing that he had a strong lust for boys. Booze and boys were his weakness.

I'm wondering how you can defy me to do something I've already done? His weakness was probably his brilliance and the preponderence of Tall Poppy Syndrome.

Like Ive said before, some don't want to acknowledge his boy fiddlings because it then makes it extremely awkward to celebrate "his brilliance". As you put it.

I'll lump you in that category.

Supposition, hypothesis, speculation, suspicions, circumstantial evidence and plain old gossip do not translate to hard, irrefutable facts, no matter how many times and in how many ways you care to repeat them

All media are bereft of any morality - money talks, end of.

Seriously... how do you resent somebody so much who died at least 100 years ago for something he is not even likely to have done and for which there is categorically zero evidence?

Wilde was known to have said on his deathbed -

"Either that wallpaper goes or I do"

He was gay
