Ben, is this consistent with Aella telling you she "organized the publishing"? It seems to me that either
- You were given false info
- Aella is currently giving false info
- You are currently giving false info
- You interpreted true info falsely (other options imply intent)

That was not an exact quote. My recollection is that Aella said she shared the original two reports. My recollection is that the ?Tumblr? account Aella took credit for was the canonical one people in the community linked to.

I strongly recollect her taking at least significant partial credit for the two testimonies being promoted to attention.

I don't remember her telling me anything about causing the content of those posts to be altered.

this was in response to you directly, to clarify

I should mention that the posting of specific allegations about Brent's behavior was MUCH cleaner pronormative behavior than any of the supposedly investigative processes performed by relevant institutions, as far as I can tell.

I'm confused at how to reconcile the above with "I was not mittenscautious. I did not gather the stories, set up the inbox, I did not make the medium account. The most I did was be the first one to share the post on my facebook page."

I'm confused at what's confusing? I didn't do any of the things I said. The thing I did was 'break' the news; e.g. make the first post to Facebook. Maybe my use of the word 'publish' was too vague?
I would have described whoever published the account on Tumblr as the "first person to publish." I could imagine describing Medium as a more real form of publishing since it's less a social network and more a general platform.

OK sure, my use of the word publish was too vague, I didn't know you interpreted it in that way.
