>> I understand his family have already seen it and it has caused him to not stand in another election.

So you think it's OK to end a political career via website while remaining anonymous?

You're playing big boy games with kid tactics.

Not at all. It was appropriate that allegations were brought to the fore so that they could be investigated by those appropriate. He chose to end his career by not standing. Would you say that about a national newspaper finding a clear allegation about a politician or celebrity and publishing it in the public interest?

Wishing to remain anonymous is not "kid tactics"

Trying to mock someone for the absolutely valid tactic of wanting to be anonymous due to the very real threat of life-ruining retaliation is extremely childish and short-sighted.
