I think the dismissal here of the Jon Ronson piece is unwarranted, and if anyone here hasn't heard about it I'd definitely read that in preference to this post.

I think the dismissal here of the Jon Ronson piece is unwarranted, and if anyone here hasn't heard about it I'd definitely read that in preference to this post. I find it much more interesting when there are grey areas and nuance in the story rather than completely innocent people being blindsided. (And after hearing her story in full I'd argue that there the woman who told the stupid joke is effectively innocent too, if rather naive). There's a series of BBC podcasts with abridged versions of the stories in his book here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07hj31g https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07hj31g
