Actors...

I have no proof but the academics seemed pretty convinced.
I also have no proof pertaining to Mr Spacey. Nor am I interested in seeing any. That's for the courts, not for the pitchfork wielding mob.
The SJWs may call for his life's work to be destroyed. I'll not be destroying any of my DVDs.

some of land rovers designs and QA are criminal though.

Pity Leonardo came before DVD, I guess. I'd love to know which 'academics' you think condemn him. Would they also be the ones who believe that weather is climate, or is there another agenda they pursue? I ask merely for information.

I think there's half a chance you'll like it Ron. 👍 Don't google the story line, that will spoil it. You need to watch it to the very end. 😊

I never said I thought the academics condemned him. You're the one who brought the word "condemn" into the conversation.

Interestingly, I heard some academics discussing the life of Leonardo Da Vinci. Apparently, he was a pedophile.

If you condemn him, that's your view.

This is the interview that prompted my searching via google:
Leonardo da Vinci - Late Night Live - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Enjoy your journey.

Yeah. What he said.
Watch it a few times. I did. I picked up on a few things I missed the first, second and third time around.

Semantics. You stated: "Interestingly, I heard some academics discussing the life of Leonardo Da Vinci. Apparently, he was a pedophile." ( My bolding). Well, an ABC program will never be seen as evidence by me.

I ask, why did you bring this into the conversation if you didn't have a point, indefensible as it is? Is it because it is way too easy to throw stones at someone who can't throw back? I've met you, Mick, and I doubt that to be the case, but bringing, quite gratuitously, Da Vinci into the conversation is open to challenge, whatever any ABC program of your choice might say, don't you think?

As for your trite sign off, I would ask: How do you think I'm enjoying my journey right now, Mick?? What do you think it's like, living here by myself, in a house I shared with my wife? Do you have some trite comment on that?

I look forward to meeting you at Wombat this year, when perhaps we can try and get on as we have before. It won't happen if stupidity is your new norm though. I simply won't bother.

It's actually quite a brilliant film. Needing to watch it again is quite normal.

My point.
Should we destroy an artists work (actors, painters and musicians are artists in this argument) because they have been accused of (or found guilty of) committing a crime?
In Rolf Harris' case, some called for his artwork to be destroyed.
Why Rolf's artwork must be taken down - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Renewed calls for Rolf Harris mural to be destroyed | The Standard
To be fair and even handed, those same people should be calling for Leonardo Da Vinci's artwork to be destroyed.
