- andy_ppp 10y agoI think these people would be wise to go to the police rather than writing blog posts/twitter comments that imply vague wrong doing without any clear crimes involved.
- prutschman 10y agoIf no clear crime was committed, why on earth would going to the police have done any good?
- middleclick 10y agoI feel for the victims not going to the police, but then my question is what is the alternative?
- syngrog66 10y agoIf the "victims" don't go to the police, then the alternative is we all slowly devolve into a world of smearing, guilt-upon-accusation, witch hunts, vigilantes, blackmail, shared-make-believe and anarchy.
- A_COMPUTER 10y agoHoneywell stated a couple things that clearly violate consent, and could reasonably be described as rising to the level of legally actionable. I was very critical of some of the weak discounting of the possibility of JTRIG-style character attacks, but when notable, reputable people in the community come forward with specific relevant first-person claims, I believe it's important to take it more seriously.
- andy_ppp 10y agoIt's impossible to draw any conclusions without a fair trial. Apart from saying we should assume innocent until proven guilty. It's a really good idea that seems to have been marginalised in the age of the web.
