You're seriously arguing that a throw-away comment from an anonymous internet poster is enough to invalidate her story, and that we should ignore the victim's story because we might find ourselves in the attacker's situation? What the fuck is wrong with you?
I am just saying there are two sides of the story and we have not heard the other side yet. And we are talking about a professional and personal life getting ruined here (the guy is already screwed up regardless of what comes out of this, with this HN submission and even a Techcrunch article about that).
We are getting a pattern of events that emerges we need to analyze that. Public history of multiple sexual harassment claims in blog posts, "flirting with a couple of guys", "having several drinks", "private party in my room". Try to be fair here - we need to hear the other side of the story here for sure.
This is a comment from her blog post. This greatly differs from her original point that she has never talked about this before, let alone name anyone.
<quote> Please don’t think i’m accusing you of fabricating this story but it concerns me greatly that this isn’t the first time you have blogged about being sexual assaulted and named the men involved. Why do you think it is ok for you to do this?
I don’t know who Florian Leibert is but without any proof of what happened you have essentially libeled him by making a (technically) baseless allegation of sexual assault.
