Okay. So why did you ask for documentation of her claims, then, if it isn't important?You provided one isolated example. There's not much that can be learned from one data point.

If the original writer made the attempt to write persuasively, maturely, and appropriately about the harassment, the issue wouldn't be about their inability to write well.
Because I thought that everyone would agree that it was important and provide compelling documentation, not an isolated incident.
The issue ISN'T about her ability to write well. Dismissing the validity of her claims or choosing to engage in a discussion of them on the merits because of the relative skill with which she makes the claim is a logical fallacy.
If you saw a woman running down the street chased by a hockey-masked, machete wielding man, and she was just uttering an inarticulate, wordless scream, would you sit there and say, "Well, she could have phrased that better..."?
So, what ideas do you have about reducing sexual harassment in our shared hobby?
As noted, several of your fellow ENWorlders have also put forth claims of similar repulsive behavior.
What she's saying is in error and harmful. The fact that you think we should ignore that rather than address the actual problem (which is sexual harassment, not "white male terrorism") in a responsible manner disturbs me.
