That's some sleazy wording, too. They weren't able to find any evidence that Linus was *particularly* abusive toward women over men...but that means he was anyway, because women are super weak and easily frightened, apparently.
There were warnings almost three years ago that the activists quoted in that article were making blackmail runs at people like Linus. Most likely scenario, they got dirt on him and threatened to run it in a national magazine if he didn't bend the knee. http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6907
"Ew, ESR, you can't trust that Nazi anarchist bigot crazy person!" Except it happened. The warning was about VA's old group, VA is prominently quoted in that article -- to people who've been paying attention, she's proudly waving Linus's bloody scalp.
The worst person you know warned you three years ago about Miss Scarlet, in the Conservatory, with the Lead Pipe, and today she's waving a Lead Pipe around in the Conservatory and a national magazine is praising her for it. Welp.
