      The author of the piece is the one who framed every accusation as existing in a “gray area,” specifically contrasting the offenses (including the physical ones) with illegal sexual assault. So if you’re frustrated with this perception, be frustrated with the author.

      People are commonly horrible in interpersonal relationships to the point of inflicting real harm. The question is, when is it justified to journalistically publicize these harms. The article’s focus on “emotional manipulation” suggests this justificatory standard was not met.

      I don’t want to go into greater detail about the specific charges on here because I know some of the accusers have been reading this thread. I’ll just reiterate that the “gray area” framing is what has caused critics (both male and female) to raise questions.

      Because there are some gradations of harm which justify extended journalistic inquiry, public censure, and instantaneous recision of employment, and some that do not. I think it's fair to want to parse those gradations as fairly and precisely as possible.

      Come on, the writer didn't have to specifically "call" for him to be fired. Everyone with a brain knew that would be the function of the piece.

      Think harder about whether adults are entitled to a messy, conflicted, and even "harm-producing" personal life without that spilling out into the public arena, and also about what compounding "harms" that could produce, including for the vulnerable.

          lol, I’m a public servant, so my personal life is public. if you’re extremely online, an avatar of left media, you prob should be comfortable w/ having standards / not being hypocritical. the personal is political & hypocrisy is ruinous for left. accountability makes us better!
