    You know, looking at the comments,

    cw, speculation on the Virgil stuff

    The Virgil smear did all I had to do, Afaik, nothing more came from it, but i did notice everyone hooked on to the “essay when I was 16” part and hours and hours later it was clarified that she meant “written an essay about the time she turned 16”, so people would believe it was allegations of pedophilia. If this is an attack of his character, that’s all that would need to be done, now people will hold on to that allegation along with their biases forever. Any correction will never matter. If it’s true it’s red meat to these goons, and if it’s not it doesnt matter.

      This is why it’s annoying to me that we’ve seen like 6 threads of “Can someone fill me in on the accusations? I’m just asking questions!”

        It’s touchy cause is there some (any?) obligation to inform anyone here? Posts come and go all the time here, so i do have to give the benefit of the doubt.

        For example we can say:

        wording the allegations in a better way

        Someone had come out claiming to have had some previous thing with Virgil, some time around (2010? I dont remember). Virgil wasnt very good to her. I cant even recall how the essay plays into this, but her essay was about her time turning 16.

        You can kinda see how this was supposed to work.
