If people don't want something to be linked to by people who find it interesting, they shouldn't post it on the public internet.

Harsh but true.

Here's what you said, but with some context you missed:

> If people don't want something to be linked to by a particular community of people who historically dismiss or question accounts of abuse, people who are perfectly happy to ignore their wishes and desires not to have it posted there, they shouldn't post it on the public internet.

I think what happened to the author is horrible, but yeah, even this. The internet is awash with different good, bad, crazy, wrong, stupid, hilarious, weird, and batshit insane ideas and places where people can say anything they want. If you post an article they may even throw a link up and discuss it.

I may not enjoy their conversation, so I will not visit that website.
