Yeah, that was quite stupid. It was like saying "hey you cheated on that math test, so I am sure you cheat on your girlfriend, too." 
no, it's more like you cheat on your math test and therefore you probably cheat on your chemistry test also. ( and probably on any other thing where they don't think they will get caught ).
Okay, lets say you don't accept Jay's word on why he was VAC-banned, you still don't know WHY he got VAC-banned. If it was for an aimbot then your analogy stands. If it was for what Jay said it was, then kaileena_sands' analogy stands.
Since we don't have concrete evidence either way, the existing "evidence" means absolutely nothing. We simply don't know enough to justify dragging someone's name through the dirt.
True dat. Plus, even the math/chemistry test is not equivalent. I even have the perfect example for it - my high school boyfriend was great at math, but he just wasn't interested/did not understand chemistry so he often cheated off me. We got caught once, it became a scandal of epic proportions.

If you think about it, people often "cheat" in life for tiny things, it becomes an issue when they do it often, for important stuff, or if they bring harm to someone by it (computer game cheating often falls in the last category - by doing it, you cause other people to enjoy the game less).
And because, as Cyanide said, I too, don't enjoy dragging people's name through the dirt, I'll remain sceptical for all cheating accusations until I get definite proof about them. Everything else is a mix of speculation, sensationalism and a spec of jealousy. Once again, we only have definite proof for one person.
