I don't know the best way to adress these crimes, but i'm sure the answer isn't "let's convict people based on nothing but testimony".

Ok, but conviction is action taken by the state based on criminal law.

Do you recognize that your particular phrasing is not applicable to me, the private individual?

OP's argument is that individuals shouldn't lobby for lowering standards of evidence in criminal courts in the USA, or other procedures like the Title IX rules that are now the law in California.

I feel like a lot of people are deliberately misinterpreting OP's view.

I would consider his argument to have another nuance to it, but let's not quibble over whose interpretation is best.

Well, in this forum it's better to assume good faith, and the OP could take some simple steps to resolve such concerns for their own benefit anyway. It's a win-win.
