some forgiveness. It was SO long ago. EVERY SINGLE PERSON HAS DONE SOMETHING DUMB AND WRONG AND REGRETFUL IN THE PAST. EVERYONE! These mistakes should not define a person's entire life. That is wrong too. That is unfair and WRONG.

I can say that I have made a number of mistakes in my life, including having said some dumb and wrong things and acted in ways on some occasions when I was much younger and long ago that I regret, don't do anymore, haven't done for SO long, and would never do again. Times change. People grow and learn.

We ALL have made some mistakes. This act was long, long ago. It is NOT who he is now. He should not resign.
