I'm sorry that you had to defend yourself in the first place.
I suspected this was exactly what happened and was surprised and annoyed at how much support he got. These kinds of accusation posts should not be so highly rewarded.
If somebody wants to make a post more visible in order to raise awareness (if it is steemit related that is), they can promote that post, but people should be discouraged from rewarding it.
His post was not even worth promoting. Because whatever happened it was between you and him. It was nobody elses business that you did not agree to meet him or even if you had and couldn't.
I was really surprised at the support he got.
Even from usually solid whales like smooth (who upvoted his nonapology apology) who seem to know better.
