I think cameras are a great start, its a cheap and effective way to catch some of the complaints. I also think an even more important step would be to push the idea that its important to report incidents you see, even if they didn't happen to you. I don't think its fair to take action on a...

Perhaps we're using different definitions. I consider someone a victim if they've been wronged by someone or some group. Here the wrong would be a false accusation leading to punishment that isn't deserved. If this isn't what a victim is to you, fine. What would you label it as though? I...

For what behavior? All I've said is that you're potentially brushing off someone who was a victim of a false accusation. I don't think you, or even the few people in this thread, speak for the community. And yes I'm concerned about justice for everyone, you make that sound like its a bad thing.

Wow, the word "victim" is a loaded term? So you don't think that justice should be applied to everyone? Minor injustices, or at least things you deem as minor injustices, should be over looked right? I said the methods you've used to dismiss someone being ejected are no different from the...

Yes, "you're no different from someone who's been sexually assaulted telling someone else to suck it up because they've also been sexually assaulted and it wasn't that bad" in that you're pretending to know how they felt in that situation when they could have experienced it differently. I'm not...

I don't know, I wouldn't have minimized the experiences of someone who was falsely accused in the first place. I never said that, I just said that they were also a victim. That doesn't mean that I'm claiming all victims are equal in their experiences, though. Clearly they people who have...

Citation please, when did I ever compare victims of false accusations to anyone else? If I'm trolling you'll find it. If you're misunderstanding, purposefully or otherwise, you won't.

So you're no different from someone who's been sexually assaulted telling someone else to suck it up because they've also been sexually assaulted and it wasn't that bad? It's shocking how similar you are to the thing you claim to be fighting.

I never made a comparison between being removed for being falsely accused and anything else, so yes that assumption is entirely on your end. All I've said is that someone has been wronged if they've been falsely accused and by a single testimony alone have been removed from an event. I view...

And if they tell you that you don't understand what they've experienced, then what? They'll tell you about the humiliation of being removed infront of their peers, perhaps people actually believe the false accusation, perhaps they don't get invited into as many groups. You're doing the exact...

You just accused me of asking a loaded question. I didn't ask when did you start hating white men, I asked you to explain your comment. You don't know what I'm thinking so please stop pretending. It's not like you've spend hours trying to explain it and I'm just being unreasonable. You...

Ignoring the specific accusation made by AngryTiger about minorities and instantly being believed, I do think your post is simply minimizing the experiences of a victim (the person who was forced to leave because of a false accusation). Why are you ignoring this victim but focusing on others...

I'd really appreciate it if instead of trying to be clever you'd actually participate in this conversation and work towards improving our community. You said: "If people are getting upset over being compared to terrorists, then perhaps instead of lashing out they should take a look at the...

This isn't my field of expertise, obviously, so here opening it up to the public might unintentionally show a bias from those wanting to answer it rather than a representation of everyone? So it could actually be inflated as perhaps it encouraged people with complaints to answer. Or it could...

You just insinuated a few posts ago that just because someone shared the same genitals (being male) or skin pigmentation (white) as some of the people involved in this harassment that they should be less concerned with being lumped in with a bad label and instead should be also trying to solve...

If I'm wrongly accused of harassment its going to matter to me. People are pushing for anti harassment policies, policies that affect everyone. I'm concerned with what is defined as harassment, and how much evidence is needed for action to be taken. I'd usually just trust common sense but...

I do agree that length of time spent at these conventions would skew the results, as if surveying someone who's only been to one event for a few hours counts as much as someone who's been doing it for 20 years. But I don't understand why you're claiming that the industry pros involved in this...

Granting that sexual harassment is a very serious issue, and going off the idea that even one incident is such a problem that this can be labeled a "big problem", I'm sure you'd admit that there is at least one instance of a woman harassing a man at some point in the past few decades at table...

Honestly so long as its directed at specific individuals I couldn't care less if people called them terrorists as in some sense they would be. But, I do have a problem with directing this at an entire race and an entire gender, which is what that blogger did. Moreover, one must question how...

It seems you're just arguing semantics. Surely you understand the difference between 1 person in 10 years claiming harassment and hundreds claiming harassment each year. If you want to call the former a "big problem" then what do we call the latter? A "huge ultra mega gigantic problem"? You...
