And I'm genuinely sorry that I said something that upset you so much you would call a complete stranger a sick fuck because of a single tweet

There's something genuinely fucked up about the lens you've chosen to apply to this situation, specifically your singular, exclusive concern with a figure who is, at best, peripheral to a real & serious case. It all comes second to getting the target. I hope this keeps you up.

By the way, you and the others covering this had every opportunity to point out that this case was indeed legitimate, and that it's awful that even someone as rich as Terry Bollea had to rely on a random Peter Thiel vendetta in order to not get priced out of the court system.

But it wasn't enough to point out that Peter Thiel was lashing out with his money over a grudge; you also wanted a sympathetic victim. So you threw Bollea and his *very* legitimate case under the bus, just to make Thiel look that much worse. Yes. You're a sick fuck.

I fully believe that if it served your political flavor and personal interests, you'd do this again to another victim. But you know what? Prove me wrong.

I see there's no way to keep from being made into a straw man for your arguments. The reality is that you don't know anything about my personal interests or political beliefs, or what I know or don't know about victims of this kind of case. You just want a punching bag

“As of 2019, 41 states and the District of Columbia have specific laws outlawing distribution of revenge porn.” They did something very wrong, Matt. It wasn’t a “nuisance suit”. Please do the right thing and retract.https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/revenge-porn-laws-by-state.html …

I'm not commenting on the merits of the suit, only on Thiel's vendetta against Gawker and desire to drive them out of business because of a personal slight. And I'm not retracting anything. Thanks

Referring to the case as a "nuisance lawsuit" is absolutely commentary on the merits of the suit. I've been *very* clear about why this an unfair characterization, and the harm that it does to victims of similar sexual violations. Retract or don't — it's your character, not mine.

Thanks. I think your character was fully revealed when you called a complete stranger a "sick fuck" for a single tweet

Let me know if you've got a better term for someone who'd dismiss sexual mistreatment when it fails to serve the narrative against their preferred target. If you're convinced that really, in all this, it is *you* that is the much aggrieved victim, I don't know what to tell you.
