Who is "the guy"?

  Why does that matter?

    What, really? Weinstein had anecdotes floating around by word of mouth for decades. Maybe if some of those had been collected anonymously in a public forum, action would have been taken sooner.

      Not just w.o.m. anecdotes, multiple police investigations that went nowhere http://www.google.com/search?q=harvey+weinstein+abuse&dcr=0&biw=600&bih=843&source=lnt&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A1%2F1%2F1990%2Ccd_max%3A1%2F1%2F2017&tbm= http://www.google.com/search?q=harvey+weinstein+abuse&dcr=0&...

    Does not help fix anything by keeping the person anonymous

      The author describes outing him at a later occasion. That means the person is not kept anonymous, his name is simply not included in this article. Now, I think that omitting his name makes the article better, because it removes a distraction. On the whole i think that whether or not his name should be mentioned depends on whether or not his behavior has changed -- with some bias in favor of not mentioning him, because... well people should be allowed to learn and improve themselves?

  Initially i wondered as well. However, the author ended up reporting him, so i guess it's a moot point. ... As long as the guy has learned something or changed his behavior, i mean.

    The article suggests he didn't learn or change. Also, why is that your halting criteria? Why not some jail time?
