The message is clear: HN has a "bias" (according to them) and their readers must take action in order to discuss it.
It could be that readers here disagree with them, it could be that readers don't buy their attempt at character assassination, instead they play victims as if there was a grand conspiracy to keep a homeless old man with cancer at the head of a nonprofit.

- palant 2y agoAs I said: “according to many credible witnesses, not all of them anonymous. Heck, some of it is even on video.”
- shadowgovt 2y agoThis seems like an irrelevant tangent. Powerful men can hold other powerful men to account, that is still holding powerful men to account. (In fact, one change desired by is for powerful men to stop reflexively responding to allegations like these by protecting each other and being more skeptical of unsubstantiated pleas of innocence, given the statistics that we know on the nature of sexual assault allegations).
