Meh. You are moving goal posts, and you are making baseless claims against an experienced reporter who is well connected in the Bay Area for a major newspaper.
You are offhandedly discounting the reported experience of more than 20 people, many of whom have come forward with evidence.

You did that! You said Susan Fowler was effective because she was able to speak truth to power. Implying that this article is ineffective because the writer doesn't know how to speak truth to power.

No I didn't. I said I tend to believe them.

Personally, I think what he's asking for is entirely reasonable, and I was also disappointed to see a lack of hard evidence in the hit-piece.

So you're looking for a smoking gun level of proof? The unfortunate thing is that life usually isn't that easy. When smart people do bad things they generally don't leave a paper trail.
Everything you list is an accusation. What I am looking for is:
(1) Person X said this racist thing happened.
(2) The event in (1) is (a) true, and (b) backed up by a corroborating witness, this email, some document, etc
>You also have to look at the facts; Susan is an excellent writer, and based on her book, she already had some measure of experience speaking truth to power.
If the NY Times doesn't have reporters that can do that then they should fire the ones they have and find some that can.
