We will continue to disagree on this. I posted about Scott & Rachel's actions only after Scott's post, which showed them originating the me vs. them narrative they'd constructed, and especially Scott's deeply hostile comments - I was working on framing a much more even-handed response with Rose Fox's and Mink's assistance, decided to sleep on it, and woke up to Scott's awful comments, which made it clear that attempting an actual conversation was futile.
This timeline is important. I deliberately kept anyone from speaking negatively about or theorizing about Scott and Rachel, here and on Facebook, while they were coming to their decisions. This didn't come from me. It came from them.
Could I have taken the abominable treatment Scott was dishing out without complaint, or been a nicer rape victim to make people more comfortable? Yes, but I don't think I should have to, and I choose not to.
