Respect doesn't enter anywhere into things at all. It's simply a matter of restricting yourself as far as possible to known facts.
Before hammer hits gavel, all that is known to be fact is that there is an allegation. So you keep "alleged" in the description.
After the hammer falls, you also know as a fact that there's been a conviction, and therefore you may legitimately say he's a "convicted sex offender".
However, just because someone is arrested for sex offenses, and convicted therefor _does not make him a sex offender_.
You're confusing knowledge with facts - the epistemic with the alethic.
If you believe the knowledge to be incomplete, then you should feel obliged to limit yourself to the facts - either describe him as the recipient of the allegation, or the recipient of the conviction. Either is formally correct.
You might say that this (choice of wording such that you accept the possibility that the facts may differ from the conclusions the conviction was based on) shows lack of disrespect for the system. However, the system has proved itself time and time again to be capable of egregious errors.
That awful 3D explorer was in fact a standard program that comes as part of IRIX on Silicon Graphics machines. No-one computer literate uses it by choice.
Fossil records tell us next to nothing about species. They give you a snapshot of phenotypes, and we can only guess whether the genes behind them could actually interbreed.
And I disagree with your "basically states". PE does not say what you claim it does.
Punctuated equilibrium does not refute slow gradual change, it refutes/steady/ change. P.E. simply says that there are points in time at which the change is negligible (the equilibria), and other times where the change is relatively accelerated (the puntuations). It would be very rare for the process to ever be non-slow. However, P.E. certainly does emphasise the fact that non-slow changes can happen, such as pandemics causing species-wide disease resistance within only a few generations, but these examples are exceptional.
In summary - I don't like the view that P.E. is in some way "stop/start" evolution. All rates are possible. (Ring species are great examples of slow gradual change, for example.) Note the use of the word "may" in the first paragraph of the site you linked to.
Watch the bullshit episode. There's lots of meat in that program to get your teeth into. They don't pay the catholic contraception aspect enough attention in my mind, but on her prisons they've got some great interview footage where she basically says "I am a sadist" but manages to wrap it up in a way that makes it sound like a spiritual and good thing.

He lived in South Africa for quite a long time, and wrote a lot while there. Almost everything he wrote about the blacks there was negative, and to be frank, downright racist. The "uncivilized races", he called them. That's trash talk in anyone's book.
Sorry, but the infallable image of Gandhi is one that needs to be punctured. See the Penn & Teller 'Bullshit' episode about 'heroes', where they also crucify the Dalai Lama, and Mother Theresa. (The latter being someone I consider to be downright evil in the extreme.)

Due you need to have supernatural powers to be a superhero, or just praeternatural powers? I'm not familiar with DC or Marvel's comics, but are there any characters that only have praeternatural powers, not supernatural ones?

Maybe you should tell Videolan that their libdvdcss doesn't use a key, as their developers clearly think that it does - in fact more than one:
