    A neurodivergent person withdrawing from public life after being the target of a harassment campaign isn’t particularly surprising.

    The guy disappeared for months after Bernie ate shit and that didn’t even relate to his actual personal life. He has a history of ghosting as a stress response.

      Oh I am not accusing him of anything. I just know some accusations went on and ge vanished. I didn't know if anything else had come out.

        For sure. I was in the “wait and see” category at first, but it’s pretty obvious at this point that it was a chud weaponizing SV to go after a leftist public figure.

          I'm the opposite.

          It had been a rumor that people parroted as fact on right wing channels until they all thought it was true (see also: Patton Oswalt killing his wife, etc.), and so when the allegations came out my first thought was, oh look a pol poster decided to actually make a go at him over this. Given how anonymous and sketchy the details were.

          But him refusing to just call it a right wing hoax has given me pause and made me wonder if there's truth to it.

        Yeah, I 100% agree he didn’t handle it well. The guy has enough money for someone to handle comms and hire a lawyer. Could be possible he hired a lawyer too and was told to not interact with allegations at all. :shrug-outta-hecks:
