    So, you say you have no horse in this race. Then why take the side of the alleged abuser? When I have no stake in the claim, I tend to take the victim’s claims at face value because the overwhelming historical evidence shows that victims don’t make up claims, and overwhelmingly that toxic people tend to dismiss their claims or attack the victim further.

    Perhaps consider the subject at hand, and why you might find yourself rejecting the alleged victim’s claim. And what kind of person would do such a thing.

      The distinction is that the victim didn’t make the claim here; some random guy on the internet made the claim.

        … the dude’s sister literally made the claim. You’re working awful hard to spread lies for some reason. I wonder why…
