      This is chilling, which of course, is the desired effect. The so-called journalists who are applauding this as social justice, are dancing on the graves of their own profession. “New York Review of Books Editor Is Out Amid Uproar Over #MeToo Essay” https://nyti.ms/2NnviSV

      Maybe if he had bothered to actually have the piece fact-checked, that thing that editors are supposed to do, he wouldn’t be out of a job.

      The idea that serial abusers of women should be shunned by society society seems like common sense to me. Printing an article by a man accused of abuse and sexual assault by a score of women shows a lack of judgement.

      Ghosmeshi has the right to say what he pleases. Not publishing him in the NYRB isn’t the denial of those rights. And for the record, I actually agreed with his acquittal on technical grounds. But if he’s innocent so was OJ.

      OJ was found responsible in a civil suit. Ghomeshi was never found responsible, and the civil suit was withdrawn. One might assume if there was a reasonable chance at conviction, the civil suit would have proceeded. But it didn’t. This is not analogous to OJ.

      You can read Jeet Heer or Buruma’s highly unflattering interview with Chotiner. Ghomeshi has accusations levelled against him by a literal score of women. Is it possible Ghomeshi is innocent? Sure. Same with OJ. It’s also possible to win the lottery.

      Do you really believe that all or even three-quarters of his accusers are lying?

      We only know that all the accusers who went to court were lying. I only believe it is possible that the other accusers were lying as well. The truth isn’t distinguished by its popularity. I believe every individual is innocent until proven guilty, accuser & accused alike.

      That's not true: Borel went to court and Ghomeshi only got her charges dismissed by agreeing to a peace bond and agreeing to apologize to her.

          The activities that Borel describes were not "being an ass." Ghomeshi apologized to her. Also there are 20 other women with stories of behavior that goes beyond "being an ass."

          You’re right, in that technically Borel did go to court. I didn’t mean to imply that she was lying, I meant to imply that Borel was not guilty of lying unless proven otherwise. You’re wrong, in your use of the word “only”.

          Since Ghomeshi agreed to the peace bond and the apology, we have no reason to think that they weren't key factors in the agreement reached by both sides.
