My first writing of this was incredibly snarky, I was going to originally lay into her much harder, but yeah, optically I want to leave as little out there as possible for them to focus on so they're not able to squirm away from the actual accusations laid forth in the document. It would be stupid for me to waste 2 weeks of research just for everyone to quote a few insults from the doc and hand-wave it all because it was written too aggressively.
It has nothing to do with "owning trans people" or "destroying the left" or any stupid shit like that. I was one of the people early on saying that KF was stupid for making bomb threats etc...so I had no desire to originally defend this place over anything, I was just upset that Keffals was able to get away with so many lies on her journey to being a media darling. I was also originally not going to write anything about the suicides attributed to KF and only comment on the strangeness of the lack of proof of Near/David actually being dead, but once I began to dig and read more it was hard not to say anything.
At the end of the day, I just want a good recording of what's actually happened. There are legitimate arguments for shutting down places like this or other sites that participate in doxing, but I believe those arguments need to be made, defended, then acted upon, and not some bullshit arguments made up and acted on because people feel like the other ones aren't actionable enough.
