I hate to dredge this up again, but the peanut gallery resurfaces every time Glip does a moderately popular thing, and I realized I don’t have a single collected list of responses. So here you go: the inverse of a callout post. A call…in?
If you haven’t read these, perhaps consider not spreading serious accusations about the relevant persons.
Pengo has removed his posts (Glip’s response, and rebloggable summary)
Response to fieldoftheother’s “Level 100” post
(scroll down a bit, starts at the line)
No one made moves on a 13yo, and Glip did not call autistic people sociopaths or robots
General advice: beware games of telephone. Pengo’s post said “potentially abusive”, based mostly on some months-old third-hand speculation, not anything that actually happened; magically, that became “known abuser”. I read an article about some philosophical and practical issues with a law, mulled it over, and now am occasionally accused of “supporting child porn” or outright being a pedo. (I do not; I am not.)
If there’s a huge gap between two dots and nothing connecting them, someone is probably bullshitting you, hoping you’ll make the leap yourself without questioning it.
