If you don't like what I said, that's fine; but I wasn't "finger pointing" - I was responding directly to something you said, which I quoted verbatim.

I don't know anything of her background but maybe she was raised in an environment where domestic violence was ok, or at least acceptable. It can be a hard cycle to break. She blames herself because she thinks that her actions led to his actions. A lot of abusers will enforce this belief: "why did you make me angry or…

As someone who was in an abusive relationship for over 10 years (in which I was once knocked unconscious) I can tell you that nothing scares them more then the presence of the law, the possibility that there may be a "official type" witness to what they did, and the then very real possibility that they will have to…

Please google the term "traumatic bonding". This is why children love their abusive parent and why women return over and over to an abusive partner. It IS like brainwashing - and it literally creates physical changes in a child's brain, similar to scarring.

No, today's liberal, progressive persons are too busy patting themselves on the back for engaging in behavior that makes them appear to be liberal and progressive instead of you know, actually living a liberal and progressive life.

That's what's driving me nuts - I'm super liberal, but some of the statements I've been seeing are over the top and insane (like, calling for the guy's murder insane). A) The whole movement loses credibility over shit like this and B) wrong is wrong, even when done to someone you don't like.

Publishing the address of Wilson is contemptible.

I thought being a liberal, progressive person meant doing the right thing, even to people you don't like, or hate. I guess that doesn't apply any more.

So why then is everyone so angry? Sure, it might me a misstep at this time — considering the protests and civil unrest — but is it ethically incorrect?

I can't believe the number of commenters who are defending the NYT here. It is *so* not okay to publish someone's home address in the newspaper without their express permission. Rape culture much?

Because context can act as incentive. And by being only generalized to a street, they actually can put his neighbours in danger too.

A lot of people want justice for what happened. Me included. And my first thought reading this was "Who cares about a man like that's privacy". But my second thought took me back to the height of #GamerGate and how one of the big issues was women being doxed. How outrageous we all here at Jezebel thought that was…

I don't any sympathy for this bastard, but no newspaper should really ever be publishing a private citizen's address, even if only approximate, unless they request it.

That's the problem though, it isn't okay. There are entire schools of thought about this very subject. Basically it comes down to 'just because someone else behaves poorly, it does not give you the right to behave poorly.'

At least feel bad for his neighbors. A friend of mine lives on his street. She only realized this when a local TV station released the address back in August. They later apologized and took it down. But she had people driving down her street for weeks. It died down but I'm sure it will start up again now.

Yes. They are liable. You just don't put someone's life in danger like that. And if it was published before, you still don't spread it.

So the guy got lynched by writers here and on a gajillion blogs, was unanimously found by the grand jury not to have done anything criminally significant enough to indict, and now we have grand jury testimony from anti-Wilson witnesses that they lied - in one case the "witness" didn't even see what went down but…

When did we lose our ability to apoligize with sincerity & simply say "I was wrong, I did a dangerous, morally inexcusable thing"? Which in this case applies to: NYTimes & WaPo for publishing the home address of someone in a high profile criminal case, as well as any organization employing Howard Kurtz to flap his…

Never thought I'd say this, but maybe Bette should take a page from Mariah's book. (Or a verse from her song, amiright? I'll be here all week.)

Not taking away her agency, but I think the criticism should be directed upwards. What kind of pressure are agents, managers, and labels placing on young artists? That's what I wonder.

Oh, Bette, no. I mean, I totally agree that pop stars today shouldn't be doing anything that they themselves are not comfortable with but all these statements lately from older music legends just REEK of slut-shaming.
