It seems like some of these people are repeat offenders, who are trying to destroy several innocent women's careers. That's kind of the actual witch hunt.

- jimmywanger 10y ago> It seems like some of these people are repeat offenders The people mentioned in the allegations have not been named and have not had their identities revealed, and also have not had any evidence presented, except for two unsubstantiated accounts. It's probably not even the same people in Fowler's article and this most recent anonymous one. Instead, somebody got information leaked (information that Google refuses to confirm) about something that happened in the past, at another company, gets fired because any appearance of impropriety must be squashed, and his name and career gets dragged through the mud for real evidence at all. Isn't that a witch hunt?
- gpawl 10y agoa witch hunt in an accusation going looking for someone to accuse, not an accusation doggedly following the accused.
- Hydraulix989 10y agoI don't think calling it a "witch hunt" (a rather loaded term) is an accurate depiction at all of what is going on. Remember, in the true sense of the word, the targets of said witch hunts weren't actually witches, which is VERY disputable and an unpopular opinion to hold in this scenario where the harassers are clearly damningly guilty.
- ant6n 10y agoI meant that in a very very broad sense of having your reputation or spirit or career destroyed despite being innocent.
