I don't think you should get to accuse someone of being a pedo, a serious moral and legal crime that you know you are invoking to destroy someone, and then just go "d'oh, oopsie guys, my bad!"

I've stood on the soapbox of "false accusers get the same conviction they tried to tar others with" when it came to feminists and rape, and I'll hold that same principle with calling someone a pedo.

He attempted, poorly and weakly but still, to ruin him during a temper tantrum that might have held legitimate consequences if he wasn't a laughing stock, and that requires more than just a simple apology to forget.
