Well he didn't get to stick around, did he? As powerful as he was, he was immediately disowned by everyone once his victims came forward, and there was corroboration and evidence. Whereas here it is suggested that we make judgments based on a _sole anonymous account_. And no, you don't get to pick where you apply #metoo and where you don't. You either "believe all women" or "require evidence". There's no pick-and-choose.

> Well he didn't get to stick around, did he? His case shows it's possible to make it to the top, and to stay there for decades, as an abuser. You're emphasising whether it's possible to get to the top as an abuser, stay there as an abuser, and die before getting caught. This has little bearing on my point, although we know from the Jimmy Savile case that it is indeed possible. > There's no pick-and-choose. As I just stated, I'm not interested in discussing this. My point here is specific.
