Dunno about staying silent, but the creation of that website was a long,
long step over the line IMO.

A site in ioerros name containing multiple allegations with no evidence
provided, a somewhat malicious twitter link and no real re-course for an
easily found response. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever /s

But then, it ties into a bugbear I have with how various legal systems
handle this type of accusation. I 100% understand some alleged victims
might want to remain anonymous (in this and other cases). But given the
harm an allegation (even if unfounded) can wreak on it's own, the accused
should similarly be entitled to anonymity up until the point of conviction.

Other than that I don't like how the whole thing has been pursued (if
that's the right word), personally I'm making no judgement - it's not my
place and there's not nearly enough information available to know whether
there's any truth to it anyway. I'm also not particularly inclined to think
that any evidence should be publicly aired, outside of actual legal
proceedings.

FWIW, though, based on a quick read, I can easily see Nick Farr's story
boiling down to an incompatibility in personas/approaches rather than a
deliberate malicious campaign waged against him. Doesn't mean it was/wasn't
the case.
