Interestingly, if you replace “incite internet mobs after them.” with “start a campaign to remove him from cons and get him blacklisted from the VA industry,” you get the exact pro-Vic argument people have been making. One is significantly more damaging than the other, though.

Well now we’re getting into the proof realm, and unfortunately you’re the only person asserting anything that needs it. Got to prove Rekieta incited anything (harder than it sounds), and that Vic sexually harassed anyone. That’s a big ask, and otherwise you’re left with nothing.

Because you made assertions with a material impact on someone’s life. You’re welcome to think Vic’s a scumbag personally, but if you have any logical consistency you’d want some kind of provable sequence of events if you think he deserves having his life ruined.

I don’t blame you for thinking that way, but this lawsuit, especially if it goes Vic’s way, might serve as a good lesson for all of us (myself included). Our bar for thinking somebody is scum should be way higher than what’s conventionally accepted as true on Twitter.

Those numbers sound bad, but if you went through them one by one (as they’ll do in court) I strongly doubt many of them will rise above “well that was awkward.” That’s the problem the defendants now face - it’s not one instance that has to be harassment/assault, it’s all of them

But what if those ten are “hey he was kind of weird?” If that’s the highest bar they can pass, is that worth ruining a man’s livelihood? I feel like there’s a lot of real world context being lost here because we’re on Twitter - on both sides. It’s frightening.
