More Yaniv autism

[yesthatanna]

@WGkitty owned @yesthatanna

So would that be a deviation from The Post Millennial Mission Statement?

I don't think I could have been more clear, but in case I need to be:

As much as WG would love to believe we went solely off of his claims, we did not. We never would. We saw his claims, and then went to Constable Holly Largey and one other officer (can only remember the first name, apologies: Constable Chris), for immediate verification. We got that verification, and I believe my editor still has the recording of that.

I would never, ever, write an article based off of what someone says online who provided no evidence whatsoever for their claims (and even if they did provide evidence, that evidence would have to be solid: Like, video of the police at the door of the person in question, and we had confirmation the person lived there for ex).

It was a good attempt at taking responsibility, and certainly it prompted the verification process to commence, but it was not the verification process in full.

Hope this helps.

EDIT:

I don't even understand what she is so angry with me about? She asked for to to give her the names of the people I talked to while kind of having a bitchy tone and I told her that I'm not going to do that. That whole conversation she had was wild and she's obviously very angry about something. I lost a lot of respect for her; she's trying to be a serious journalist but has no professionalism what so ever.

Ah, my "tone."

I didn't ask for names. I never asked you to publish a single name. I asked for verification or if there was even a way for you to verify what you were saying as true. You want to go on a multi-post thread without providing proof of your claims, please do. I genuinely don't care. But don't start attacking me when I simply ask for verification or if there is even a way to verify what you are saying is true. That's a red flag for me (as it should be for anyone).

I am not the only journalist on the face of the earth. I don't even consider myself a journalist. I literally started doing this last year -- February 2019 -- and I have SO much to learn.

I was thrust into a lot of the stories I was put in, and handled them as well as I could. I feel I handled them well. You want to disagree -- that's perfectly okay. Fortunately, I have the support of many people, including the victims (verified to the fucking 9s), and that helps me sleep at night.

A 3rd and final EDIT:

Also, as I have said multiple times in this place and on twitter... I am *unfortunately* burned with knowledge of shit happening behind the scenes that I cannot disclose for legal reasons. This shit was burdened unto me because of my involvement in the original, VERIFIED Yaniv cases. This shit gives me insight into the way things work and are currently established in ways that influence how I perceive new information and its implications.

I am not a "Yaniv watcher" in the way that some of you and the folks on Twitter are. I do not care if Yaniv is stuffing his face at Dominos today, or looks like shit tomorrow, or is working the sushi booth at the mall on Monday. I care about tangible crimes and tangible victims only. People yell at me all the time for my silence on the dumbest things. Maybe I get too heated. Oh well. I won't be berated for my tone.

Actually no, one more EDIT, I don't care because I am noticing other things that have been said that I should address:

Writing isn't my life. I got paid VERY little (like... net LOSS little. Yes. Net financial loss to write. I do it because I enjoy it). And after the last Yaniv story, I actually retired from Yaniv stories. I passed them off to Rebecca Christensen and others at TPM. I didn't want to do them anymore. Why do you think I hadn't been on KF in so long?

I am a full-time student, TA, and GRA. So this idea that I am searching for a job or clicks or to make money off of this or anything is nuts. I am very thankful for the tiny, tiny platform I have now. My life is my academic work. My goals are the completion of my academic work. This semester in particular has been hell for me, between 3 full time classes, my thesis, my GRA, and COVID impacting my auntie in a very real way. But anyway

I have been open as hell on KF because I have enjoyed talking to some of the folks on here, and had some great conversations. I have invited people to ask me any questions they wanted. This speculative "oh she's trying to X" when I am right damn here is ridiculous.

And anyone confused or pretending like they don't know shit all of a sudden about the Ryan Gordon situation can just go to the thread. It's here. Its on KF. Some of y'all acting like you can't read the dozen+ pages I spent answering every question, uploading audio, providing evidence, and apologising for any missteps I made... Come on. Come onnnn lmfao give me a break

But what about you outing victims’ identifying information to their abuser’s camp?

 

[yesthatanna]

But what about you outing victims’ identifying information to their abuser’s camp?

That is covered in the "go to the Ryan Gordon thread" part of the final edit.

But I will be more than willing to give you a rundown:

What occurred in the accidental revelation of the victim's name was that an individual named Ryan Gordon came to me last year, stating he had effectively managed to convince Yaniv he was working for him, and Yaniv had admitted REAL crimes to him. Those crimes had gone to the police, and the police were imminently acting (as in: immediately). EDIT: And I should clarify, his status with Yaniv was verifiable in a few ways, but I will continue.

After a lengthy discussion with RG, I asked him if he had ever heard one name. This was the name of a victim I had never revealed to anyone, but asked if during the exploration into Yaniv's Facebook and twitter messages (which RG had verified he had access to, and him and I would go into later on -- him directly, and me watching him over FaceTime), he had seen anything from. This was NOT because I did not believe the girl, but because she was worried no one would believe her because she could not get access to the hard drive she had in her possession from when she was a minor. We also had not been able to get in touch with some key people we needed to in order to further her story at that time. Her and I had been in contact for almost one month constantly prior to this happening. EDIT: Should add here that she had been asking me to try and get in touch with some people to try and verify her story in other ways.

RG then *accidentally* revealed that information to Yaniv. Yes, accidentally. Because he, being a fucking retard with his head shoved allllll the way up his popper-loosened ass, conflated the first names of two of the victims.

OBVIOUSLY Yaniv knew who the girl was. He abused her. So "revealing" her name to Yaniv isn't exactly the biggest deal. But Yaniv didn't know we were investigating that particular girl at the time.

I had nothing to do with the further circulation of the girl's name. That was 100% Ryan Gordon, who then attempted to claim the girl was lying, I was lying, and autistically claim it was all a setup in an attempt to save face after it was revealed he had fucked up and revealed a name to Yaniv he should not have. He probably did this for legal reasons, but who fucking knows.

I IMMEDIATELY notified the victim when Gordon started to drop her name on here. She was okay with it. She understood. Honestly, I was more stressed and depressed than she was. We still talk to this day. She's a wonderful woman.

I'll stop there. The thread is available for parsing. I provided evidence on a lot of things, including where Gordon disparaged the victim to me on a recorded call. I recorded a lot of our interactions.

So the victim had given you permission to share her personal identifying information with others, no further approval from her needed?

 

[yesthatanna]

So the victim had given you permission to share her personal identifying information with others, no further approval from her needed?

She had given me permission to discuss her and her case with others in order to get the information needed to evidence her case for the purposes of the story, absolutely. If you read the article on her actual story, you'll see I verified her story with a few of her co-workers -- How would I have been able to do that unless I said her name to them? So yes. Obviously.

BUT. Was her name EVER supposed to get out to the public? No. Never. That was not meant to happen. I went to her the moment I found out it had and apologised profusely, and gave full transparency about the entire situation. We cool, gang gang to the end.

And while I was not the one who leaked it to the public, I shouldn't have trusted Gordon. I feel horrible that I did. That is on me. I will never not feel bad about it. But to act as though I callously leaked information to the public is a disingenuous misrepresentation of what occurred, and there are PAGES on KF to evidence that. I never wanted or expected it to happen, or else it never would have.

That’s a lot of words to answer a yes or no question.

Look, everyone makes mistakes. It just beggars belief that someone who made a whopper like this, endangering the safety and well-being of a sexual abuse victim, has the gall to take such a nasty tone and smear @WGkitty, solely because you got tagged in tweets. Come the fuck on and get some humility, girl.

Well how about throwing the victims away like garbage once you told their stories? Seems a real feminist would have compassion of them. To you, the victims are good enough to get your clicks and make the TPM happy. Seems contrary to some of the values you market you’re self as standibg for. You do know Meow Mix will own you if you want to argue that! And your narrative makes you a troll on Twitter.

I am surprised you haven’t justified your state of affairs in a world 7 billion others are facing unprecedented challenges simultaneously that your frustration on some other elective procedures being cancelled in light of COVID-19 as a source of frustration! I did genuinely feel bad when I heard that because you deserved that happiness. Coulda been a great article and how others facing the same across the globe. Hopefully you’ll get that resolved and they’ll not be douchebags about it!

The answer is yes, with the addendum of details provided.

Throwing the victims away? Where? Where did I throw them? What do I need to do to not throw them away? Keep parading them out in front of you?

I talk to all of them regularly. I thank them all regularly. Whenever someone tries to give me thanks, I direct it back to them. I guided one of them to the RCMP, spent hours on the phone with her talking her through the interview process after the article. What else am I supposed to do with them? Put them on the radio circuit? Get them talk shows? Most were anonymous and wanted to remain that way.

It seems like no matter what I do -- stay silent or talk, I will be screeched at for it.

If you want to shit down my throat for the work that I've done and made 0 money off of, please do. I don't genuinely care. You have your preconceived notions, I can't change them. You were happy to use me when I gave you what you wanted.

Never used you at all, Anna. Keep trying the inverse of “unequivocally”. That’s your ego needing to get the last word. The evidence is out there- you’re a user and abuser- granted a lot of journalists are. Troll harder.

 

[yesthatanna]

The only issue I have is how you smeared @WGkitty and flew off the handle over being tagged in tweets. I didn’t realize you are so young, but that’s no excuse for this kind of behavior. You know better.

I got upset because I saw a thread that was picking up serious traction with *0* evidence attached to it. I didn't ask for names. That's a flat lie by WG made here. I asked for any verification whatsoever. That should be a given when you are making literal criminal accusations. Why is that controversial? It shouldn't be. KF is known for liking evidence.

WG then attacked *me* for asking.

He attacked my credibility, and he attacked my history with victims when he knows damn well what that history was. He was in the Ryan Gordon thread, as far as I recalled. So as far as I was and am concerned, it was a malicious lie how he was portraying and continues to portray the situation after having been in the RG thread. To suggest I doxxed a victim with no further context is not just an attack, its bullshit.

So sorry if I "flew off the handle." That's the reason why.

It would be one thing if the person who made such exceptional statements didn't know the truth -- it was another that the person did, but knew they had an audience of people who did not.

EDIT: And I will add, it is entirely possible that one thing led to another and it shouldn't have. Fine. No problem. But at the same time, I take issue with how WG handled it and continued here, apparently, further attacking me. Denigrating my work, my tweets -- calling me RACIST for a joke tweet about Sweden?? lmfao come on, you know those oppressed Swedes wouldn't hold it against me.

Never used you at all, Anna. Keep trying the inverse of “unequivocally”. That’s your ego needing to get the last word. The evidence is out there- you’re a user and abuser- granted a lot of journalists are. Troll harder.

Keep crying. You and John Southern are two peas in a shit-pod.

So is it time to give Anna her own orbiter thread? The think I love about KF is watching people come completely unglued after getting called out. Please continue to rant here it's bringing me so much joy to see how mentally stable and well adjusted you are

Edit: for the record my very first message to you after you called me a liar was me telling you I thought you were a good person. Then you went full crazy and said I'm just lying for clout.

I mean Yaniv himself has at this point verified he drove hours to meet someone, what's so difficult to beleive that people were telling me about this? Do you not beleive victims Anna?

I should know better than telling you to calm down but seriously reread what your posting on kiwifarms of all places and ask yourself how this is going to end for you.

My dude, I'm done. I was actually hoping for a second you could read what I wrote and come to some semblance of understanding and maybe we could, but I suppose not.

I tried my best to answer everyone's questions. I would even answer yours. If that's "unglued," fine.

You combed through my tweets to call me a racist over joking about Sweden, meatballs, and Ikea (and I actually support their lockdown approach) -- I would say that's a bit more unglued, but that's just little ol' me.

I have no qualms with Sweden’s approach. I only had qualms that you’ve just melted down and thrown out your credibility to so many! Accepting ownership is a strong trait in life, try it sometime! I am sure you’ll get hooked!

We got that verification, and I believe my editor still has the recording of that.

I would never, ever, write an article based off of what someone says online who provided no evidence whatsoever for their claims (and even if they did provide evidence, that evidence would have to be solid: Like, video of the police at the door of the person in question, and we had confirmation the person lived there for ex).

It was a good attempt at taking responsibility, and certainly it prompted the verification process to commence, but it was not the verification process in full.

Hope this helps.

EDIT:



Ah, my "tone."

I didn't ask for names. I never asked you to publish a single name. I asked for verification or if there was even a way for you to verify what you were saying as true. You want to go on a multi-post thread without providing proof of your claims, please do. I genuinely don't care. But don't start attacking me when I simply ask for verification or if there is even a way to verify what you are saying is true. That's a red flag for me (as it should be for anyone).

I am not the only journalist on the face of the earth. I don't even consider myself a journalist. I literally started doing this last year -- February 2019 -- and I have SO much to learn.

I was thrust into a lot of the stories I was put in, and handled them as well as I could. I feel I handled them well. You want to disagree -- that's perfectly okay. Fortunately, I have the support of many people, including the victims (verified to the fucking 9s), and that helps me sleep at night.

A 3rd and final EDIT:

Also, as I have said multiple times in this place and on twitter... I am *unfortunately* burned with knowledge of shit happening behind the scenes that I cannot disclose for legal reasons. This shit was burdened unto me because of my involvement in the original, VERIFIED Yaniv cases. This shit gives me insight into the way things work and are currently established in ways that influence how I perceive new information and its implications.

I am not a "Yaniv watcher" in the way that some of you and the folks on Twitter are. I do not care if Yaniv is stuffing his face at Dominos today, or looks like shit tomorrow, or is working the sushi booth at the mall on Monday. I care about tangible crimes and tangible victims only. People yell at me all the time for my silence on the dumbest things. Maybe I get too heated. Oh well. I won't be berated for my tone.

Actually no, one more EDIT, I don't care because I am noticing other things that have been said that I should address:

Writing isn't my life. I got paid VERY little (like... net LOSS little. Yes. Net financial loss to write. I do it because I enjoy it). And after the last Yaniv story, I actually retired from Yaniv stories. I passed them off to Rebecca Christensen and others at TPM. I didn't want to do them anymore. Why do you think I hadn't been on KF in so long?

I am a full-time student, TA, and GRA. So this idea that I am searching for a job or clicks or to make money off of this or anything is nuts. I am very thankful for the tiny, tiny platform I have now. My life is my academic work. My goals are the completion of my academic work. This semester in particular has been hell for me, between 3 full time classes, my thesis, my GRA, and COVID impacting my auntie in a very real way. But anyway

I have been open as hell on KF because I have enjoyed talking to some of the folks on here, and had some great conversations. I have invited people to ask me any questions they wanted. This speculative "oh she's trying to X" when I am right damn here is ridiculous.

And anyone confused or pretending like they don't know shit all of a sudden about the Ryan Gordon situation can just go to the thread. It's here. Its on KF. Some of y'all acting like you can't read the dozen+ pages I spent answering every question, uploading audio, providing evidence, and apologising for any missteps I made... Come on. Come onnnn lmfao give me a break

Your behavior has been very unprofessional.... what's up with that? News flash: "No mainstream media company is ever going to hire you." Take a good look around at all the unemployed journalists, many of which have more experience and a better education than you. You've got more competition now than ever before and you're outclassed by many of your jobless peers. In the off chance you do get an interview, when HR checks your social media they'll see a pattern of behavior that is totally unbecoming of a professional reporter and it will end right there.

Good luck. May I suggest looking into a career in the culinary arts? Or perhaps you can learn to code.

My dude, I'm done. I was actually hoping for a second you could read what I wrote and come to some semblance of understanding and maybe we could, but I suppose not.

I tried my best to answer everyone's questions. I would even answer yours. If that's "unglued," fine.

You combed through my tweets to call me a racist over joking about Sweden, meatballs, and Ikea (and I actually support their lockdown approach) -- I would say that's a bit more unglued, but that's just little ol' me.

Yes, I would call classify these huge lengthy replies as coming unglued. Just because I'm not willing to share information with you doesn't mean I'm lying.

For the record even after all this I think you're a good person and remind me a lot of myself in grad school. However you've got some growing up to do and learn how to accept criticism especially from people you are trying to call out.

I agree here. Anna is a good person, but her blow outs online just gets that little teeny weenie willy going of DJ Pedopuff. He gets satisfaction seeing you unglued, Anna.
