The crux of the caller's argument is this: > CfJ 2515 found that bringing Agora into disrepute would violate rule > 101. The Accused has most certainly done so. Opinions on a scam still in progress may easily differ from opinions by the same people on the same scam upon later reflection. It would be better, I think, to wait until BlogNomic is no longer caught up in the heat of the moment before evaluating the effects that the invasion has had on Agora's reputation. Unfortunately, Agora currently has no mechanism to wait for further evidence; if the case is judged while the scam is still ongoing, then NOT GUILTY is appropriate by reason of reasonable doubt, and any case called later in light of further evidence would be NOT GUILTY be reason of previous trial, R1504(c). I therefore recommend that the caller retract the CFJ for the time being, and re-call it in a week or so. Barring that, I would request of the CotC and the judge to delay it in the system as long as possible; appeals may also be helpful.
