Not going to address all of @maxmiller94's comments. But will address this nonsense about Penny seeking "accountability" from her Lost Boys.

For journalists, among the most common of standards is identifying people by first and last names. A good journalist will include them.

A good editor will double-check the spelling of first and last name. A good fact checker will check the accuracy of the quotes used, etc.

There are times when we don't use a last name, or use a made-up name, or no name at all. It's standard for rape victims, like "Jane Doe."

In her ridiculously long Lost Boys defense, Laurie Penny indicates her desire to protect them by not giving us any of their names. Not one.

The closest we get to an identity is a person named Seabass. (Penny apparently doesn't know that's a pretty common nickname for Sebastian.)

We read that Seabass is "Argentinian" (ugh WHY when Argentine is perfectly fine but anyway!!!) and nothing else. No last name at all.

Laurie Penny is so protective of these Nazis that she won't even name a couple of them. It's so shady. And so offensive.

It's extraordinary to me that any editor (much less a group of editors as I imagine went through this things she wrote) would allow this.

Not having Seabass's last name, or anyone else's name at all, means there *is* no accountability for them. They're protected.

So please: get out of my comments if you think any of Penny's Lost Boys will be held accountable. She's making sure they're not.

Laurie Penny's Lost Boys have as much anonymity and protection as a rape victim. Let that sink in.
