From the report:

Del Posto (not sure where my second comment vanished to). Thanks for the recommendation though, I’ll check it out! 🙂🙂

Wow, what the fuck am I, your grade school teacher? Learn to read!

She said it probably dozens of times and it is clearly her guiding philosophy.

Thank you for the answer and I’m very sorry for what happened to your friend. ☹️

Ah, thank you yes it was Del Posto. Great food and from what I understand, their group separated from Batali so we can still go there? 🙂

By forgiveness, you mean we forget all about it and these harassers gleefully leap back into their BMWs and they high-paying gigs, right? Or what did you mean? If you mean actual forgiveness, only their victims can provide that.

I would put it in the context of a regular job. If I sexually harassed someone at my job (and the community of professionals know each other), I might not only be fired, I might be blacklisted as well. I make minimum wage and every penny counts. C.K. has made good money. I also work in secluded places. It takes huge…

Second this!! A must-read.

Ps Bourdain in an interview said some really awesome things as did Collichio in an article linked in one of the thread comments here. They both demand that men “ask themselves where they screwed up” and they took full responsibility for things they said (none that sound like harassment, btw just using bad language…

Hey hey now, based on what? I totally would believe any victim who spoke out but in the total absence of evidence I think it’s pretty unfair to accuse this guy.

We just ate at one of Batali’s restaurants in NYC. My husband surprised me for our anniversary. It was exceptional. My skin was crawling the whole time because I heard he broke minimum wage laws and Batali always gave me the creeps, though I just keep telling myself my instincts were wrong. I’d love to know if the…

I never said she did. But when the victim (Obama) makes it clear that she prefers taking the high road, shouldn’t we consider what the victim would want done on her behalf?  

I don’t see why insulting Trump is better either. Exactly how is that going to change politics?

Enjoying Thriller at home I think is far less harmful (not harmful at all) than coming online and saying “You know what? I just love Louis C.K.’s work and hey he’s only human”.

Of course there is! Express how much you (they) used to admire him and underscore the fact that your disgust now overrides your enjoyment of his art. Glorifying his work online will attract more people, not fewer.

And that’s why the “I support his art I just won’t support him financially” is so disingenuous. C.K. probably values being seen as an artist at least as much as his finances. Propping him up as an admirable figure basically erases all the progress we’ve made as women. People can enjoy and support what they want, to me…

Her being fat and “ugly” have nothing to do with her being evil. Progressives hurling insults and teasing people for their appearance are every bit as disgusting and childish as Republicans who do the same. You’ve gone down to their misogynistic level. You’re insulting every woman on the planet when her appearance is…

I guess “When they go low, we go high” is out the window then.
