    It’s not really a good idea to repost rumor mongering and she-said/she-said drama, especially when no other sources were linked.

    I’m worried that this is the sort of submission that just makes a bunch of angry comments by people who want to argue culture war or something else without useful perspective on the situation.

      It’s not really a good idea to repost rumor mongering and she-said/she-said drama, especially when no other sources were linked.

      This is inherent to the nature of she-said/she-said posts, when such stories break out I doubt if you can have trustworthy sources unless there is judiciary involved with a verdict. Or else, how do you judge a source is valid or a person is not lying? There is no way.

      Case in point, when Susan Fowler’s post came out, which is also of same nature, had 150+ upvotes on Lobste.rs. Going by average upvotes a post receives on Lobste.rs, 150 is a lot.

        I didn’t upvote that story, for the same reasons.

        I agree. No sources on a loaded topic. Probably not lobsters worthy.
