When facts are presented on the subject,
you curiously turn to the excuse that it's
more complex than knowing the facts.


If you think knowing a sub-set of facts (there are many facts here we don't know and probably never will know) is always sufficient to jusge a person, then you and I will differ and there's no point in continuing.

If we can agree that on the basis of initial facts we make an initial conclusion, but that further investigation may change our perception, then we can have a rational dialogue.

I tend not to engage in black and white thinking until I'm sure that a situation is in fact entirely black and white and that there is no grey wandering around to be discovered.
