This is FlyerTalk's Community Forum, not the World Court. My experience with Mr. Watson is limited to his contributions to various forums here. I personally view his FT contributions in a positive light and while I can't ignore the serious allegations against him, I don't feel FlyerTalk's Community Forum is a proper forum to castigate or condemn Mr. Watson for his alleged transgressions.
I'm appreciative of B Watson's many contributions as a Moderator, Trip Reporter and contributor to the FlyerTalk community. In this forum at least I will limit my memory of him and comments on his life and passing to my personal experience with the man.
R.I.P., B. Watson
