To the person QQ’ing about truth and dissent: we are not here for circle-jerks. It’s just that productive discussion only happens when we get rid of trolls and assholes.

It would be nice if jezebel talked about the men on the list who used to work on the various gawker sites. At least one former writer here made some allegations against another writer, but no one will touch it with a ten foot pole, even though people have been emailed and questioned about it.

Wow, I am so proud of everyone for leaving the shitty comments to languish in the grays. Well done, fam. Keep on ignoring and dismissing as needed.

it boggles my mind this dude wants to act like this list caused harm

It’s hilarious that they’re acting like men weaponizing the internet to name and shame women into silence is some new possibility created as a reaction to Donegan’s list, and not something that’s been commonplace for years.

I just read the complaint and it’s going to be REALLY hard for plaintiff to meet his burden on any of the counts. First, he has to show that any of the statements made about him are actually false, which means he is opening the door to his own character/behavior because truth is a defense to defamation. It’s why the…

This is going to be a shit show, because Stephen has a long history of being sexually manipulative, coercive, disrespecting boundaries and sexually harassing any woman he perceives to be dominant. We met through the NYC kink scene and used to be friendly, but he would NOT stop pressuring me to dominate him, talking…

There’s a GoFund Me set up for her here: https://www.gofundme.com/hz8sxq

Good point. That’s exactly what Kathy Griffin says to protect herself in her comedy.

No, but discovery is a mother and he 1) will not be passing go and collecting his $200 2) will have his career/life certainly ruined. All defendent needs is a lawyer worth a shit. Anyone got a defense fund link yet?

The comments on his Quillette essay are a piece of work:

Is there even anything illegal about the list? I mean, it was no more than a bunch of woman in private warning each other about certain men. I still can’t believe that one person was so shitty that they exposed the list. It literally was just a way for women to protect themselves, it had no impact on anyone. If this…

“Just as likely”? I mean, technically I suppose you could say that it’s just as likely that the evidence presented proves his guilt in terms of logic and whatnot, but the odds of the government actually declaring it proven (by awarding damages in a countersuit or indicting and convicting him in a criminal case or…

I never actually read the list, but because of the lawsuit I now know that Stephen Elliott is accused of rape.

Streisand effect at its finest!

The column heading was “ALLEGED MISCONDUCT?”
Case dismissed. (Dun-DUN)

Ahhh. I see. So, the Kavanaugh brouhaghagh just emboldened this little turd.... He figures, “Aha! NOW is the time when my grievances will sound sympathetic, because everybody’s mad at these tattletale bitches!!”

Same. And I’m willing to bet that there are many of us in the media world that would contribute as well. I would love to use that “blood money” for good. 

Really? This guy? Several women have come out against him already, and he really wants to prove what a dipsh** he is?

Definitely not the behavior of an abuser! /s
