If the allegations are true, was Bowie a rapist?

Yes, clearly. They were underage, end of story.

To be fair though, that gap isn't as big as you think.

Women reach mental maturity in their early 20's, most men get to full mental maturity at around age 170. :P :wink:

The real elephant in the room is the effing Westboro baptist church. These wackers get off on disrupting soldiers funerals because shock horror there are gays in the military. There is nothing to be gained in going after a dead man for a victimless crime Crikey should know better than to give these thieves any oxygen.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

Razer's point (right or wrong) is that some of the media/blogosphere critics going after Bowie are adopting 'Westboro'-style tactics.

Westboro isn't and never has been an elephant in any room. Try a tiny flea in the Sistine Chapel.
