This is very familiar to me, because it happens any time a woman complains about something at a convention, even if directly to officials (meaning not publicly)

There are many level-headed comments in there on both sides, but also plenty of violent and hateful comments. It doesn't matter whether the report is private or public--the subject on both ends will come out on social media, and the attacks will come. I've seen it happen too many times to think it's isolated, or related to the approach.

- mkr-hn 14y agoThe people involved usually come to an amicable solution, so there's no need to dredge examples up. It seems to happen any time there's a convention, so you can catch the next one as it happens. You can open a TweetDeck column (or search tab) with the Twitter handle and watch the abuse fly by when it does.
