I can't make you understand that hearsay is only bad when applied to court room trials.
Absolutely. Because it is not true. You accused a person of nefarious behavior without evidence of such. Kicking s person when they are down is playground bully behavior, and should be discouraged. Period.
The definition of "hearsay" isn't something that "is not true"; its something that isn't adequately substantiated. I provided you a chain of links with substantiating evidence, but if that's not adequate for you, again, that's out of my control.
Also, who did I kick when they were down? You or the guy who "lost" their coins? If them, I assure you they didn't feel it.
