You’re doing Twitter wrong.

We can’t even exclude Saul from Tarsus...

A man named Paul. That narrows it down.

Screw the people who did this.

And I think he should get credit for doing the right thing.

He’s displaying a level of self awareness that Weinstein, Toback, Spacey etc. lack.

Would it have absolved him or undone the damage he did? No. But it would have shown
