He didn't accuse him? Did you read the OP? Most of it is an unfounded, unproven accusation against his college buddy.

He did more than relate what his long time friend told him:

So, my AFF friends, if you are on the receiving end of being judged and accused of backsliding because you have progressed from your roots and background, kill em with kindness. If you are on the other end accusing, judging, deciding who is saved and who isn't---if you are truly in the right and what you believe is truth---love those back into the fold if you really want to influence them to "come home". Lining someone up---especially after years of little to no contact, with no investment in a relationship with them probably won't be readily received.

LOL what plan? You and DB are assuming there was some nefarious plan to confront DB based on someone's gossip and unsupported by the actions and attitude of this man as written by DB.
He hugged him, cried and said he loved him.
Doesn't sound like a man who had ill intent.

So the long time friend told him the gossip but didn't want him to mention it? My words and assumption...I know DB didn't say that.
DB wrote the post patting himself on the back for such a good thing he did and how he did the higher thing. Unfortunately, the post itself was a glaring contradiction against the true higher way as stated in the Bible.
