Sorry Helen but your exact words were

The only reason the rape charges were dropped was because Assange was avoiding facing all of the different allegations against him by hiding away in the Ecuadorian embassy, i.e. being a whimpering little mouse and not a real man who faces the consequences of his actions

Which looks remarkably like you expressing "an opinion on his guilt or innocence regarding the rape and sexual assault charges." I did question your phrasing at the time but you chose not to answer. If you are now saying that you believe he deserved a fair trial, fine. Otherwise it seems like you are aligned with the lynch mob who are condemning him without the benefit of a hearing.
