Censor anything you don’t agree with. Sounds about right for this website.

Come on now, a woman was raped there (by a man who was not a member of the fraternity) 30 years ago, long before the current members were born. They’re still bad guys.

Just out of curiosity (and please ignore this username, I am not actually a PhiPsi Dude Bro), why do you believe that the frat has no chance of winning? There is such a thing as group libel, and a good case could be made that they were libeled far worse than Eramo was.

At this juncture, would it be fair to ask:

Ah I see what you’re saying now. Makes perfect sense.

Wow, “rich white kid’s parents”, eh? Now you know exactly the ethnicity and economic background of these kid’s families, in addition to knowing their psychology post “A Rape on Campus”.

Your parents, family, friends, acquaintances, romantic interests, class mates, read a 9,000 word article published in a major media outlet about how the organization you are a part of commits ritualized, premeditated gang rape as part of a membership rite and the extend of the conversation you have explaining yourself…

Yeah I think he’s pretending to be a nut job on purpose to make others look crazy by association ;)

Something did happen to her that night. She may have eaten a pizza. She may have read poetry. She may have taken a walk. Maybe she watched some Dawson’s creek. Sadly, we’ll never know.

I’m pretty sure his comment was 100% sarcasm

There I disagree with you completely. After that story was published, those kids would have been completely ostracized. Their class mates and professors would have held them in nothing but contempt. They would have had to explain to all of their friends and family that no, they are not serial gang rapists. Just that…

I see you are of those who believed in the original “A Rape on Campus” story when it was first published....

Is it really any different than Jezebel writers and their commenters jumping at every chance to post about the banners fraternities hang from their houses, the theme of their parties, etc etc etc?

I agree. Especially if they get a payday out of this, they may even be better off in the end than they would have been had it not happened.

Legally (and in actual fact), one does not have to be named explicitly to be a victim of libel.

“vague reputational harm”...... wow. Yeah, accusing an entire organization of committing pre-conspired gang rape as part of an initiation ritual is quite vague indeed.

Well done!
