[Vision2020] Craig's official statement

[Paul Rumelhart]

The article I read in the Washington Post said that he had tapped the 
foot of the person in the stall next him and reached under the 
partition. Naive to ways of the dance of restroom stall courtship and 
etiquette, I probably would have handed him some toilet paper blithely 
assuming that his dispenser was empty.

I haven't yet read the articles linked to earlier - so it's possible it 
was more than that. But given what the Post said, I can't really accuse 
him of much myself.
