A searing and possibly legit indictment... what can I say...

> incurious

Hurts to read this. But maybe you're right: my mind kind of shut off when I read the abstract (client side scanning). I can't say I've looked into the details.



sort by: page size:

Presented like this it really is an absolutely damning indictment.

The analysis evidence is pretty damning.

It's shocking reading stuff like this.

I missed that line while skimming the article, but that is exactly what was going through my mind. It is mind-boggling how this can exist on such a grand scale without any scrutiny.

As much as I try not to reach for the tinfoil hat, I couldn’t help but think the same when reading this article...

Wow... That is pretty convincing and damning...

That's very perceptive. Thanks for bringing that up. If that truly is part of the case, it's even more dastardly than I thought.

Yes, that's my understanding. Deeply disturbing news IMHO.

This is an alarming headline. I'm not quite sure how to rationalize it. It's certainly upsetting.

Good. Although I'd also very strongly question the extreme overreaction to unverified allegations that make this kind of thing possible.

While I don't agree with a lot of premises of the manifesto, I can't shake off a feeling that I just witnessed something very close to a real witch hunt.

No ... I can't believe something like this is happening ...

Pretty shocking but I imagine this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Is this as damning as it sounds? Which is insanely damning?

This may be one of the most egregious headlines I've ever seen.

Welp. I guess that's my daily dose of 'oh god everything is actually worse than I thought and I don't know why I'm surprised again.'

There's no way that's a decent no-history guess for what is intended.


Yeah, there are a ton of non sequiturs in there and other ostensibly reasonable decisions they've cast into a bad light. And then there are all the emails which, if real, are pretty damning.

I guess they're trying to be thorough or something, but probably 2/3rds of the indictment is pointless and the real complaints are hidden by a lot of insinuations that sound ridiculous.


Yeah, that's a really good point. This is even more insidious than I thought. :(

I think, without saying that things were "fine" or "tolerable" prior to this, that the feeling is akin to "I can't believe things have become so blatant, obvious, and delivered / met with this total lack of caring."

It's astonishing that things don't even seem to be thought out. It's almost like "We need to get rid of X person and we'll worry about the fallout / cover up after the fact. First we need to find out how much evidence we left behind, how guilty we look, and what our options are before we admit to anything and start playing defense."

Something along those lines, at least.
