You're misconstruing what I said so many times in ridiculous ways that it's impossible to call out every single one of them.

> That's not a "strawman argument"

Except the straw man I was referring to was your misconstruing of my argument. You can't pull off another straw man to prove that something isn't a straw man.

> you can't blame them for resorting to talking to each other on the internet about potential predators.

I did not. I'm against profiting off a site that's entirely about people anonymously gossiping about others. Moreover the site encourages users to "share experiences, anonymous dating reviews, and support." It's not even restricted to vigilante justice, meaning that your point about the site being about predators is a false premise.

From another article [1]:

> "What clubs does he go to?" another person asked on a different post. "He’s cute."

This is in line with the purpose of the platform. But how would you feel if someone else secretly publicized your whereabouts in this way while gossiping about your looks?

> And while you lambast my source

That's another bald faced lie that distracts from the issue, which is running a Kiwi Farms clone with a PR spin. I didn't even mention your statistics because it's irrelevant. Like with all agendas pushed under the "think of the children" style narrative, it doesn't solve the issues it purports to solve. All it does is destroy more lives.

> You admit, in your own words, that the justice system is inadequate here and not fit for purpose.

The justice system is the only chance there is of achieving justice. Your preferred replacement of tech entrepreneurs encouraging people to throw rocks at total strangers and profiting off of it is the exact opposite of justice.

If there's anything wrong with the justice system, it has to be fixed. Ditching the rule of law in favor of systemized mass-scale mob justice is a non-starter.

> Your beef, as generously as I can interpret it, seems to be that allowing women to talk to each other about potential predators could result in false accusations (that's what a "think of the children" argument looks like btw).

How can you possibly lecture others about charitable interpretation of other people's arguments? That's an egregious misrepresentation of what I actually wrote. And you pull this trick over and over again.

> You then repeatedly conflate this forum with "torture", "mass surveillance"

> You even compare this forum to "censorship"

Another lie. Those examples were brought up in relation to the validity of "think of the children" rhetoric, not the forum.

> You then repeatedly conflate this forum with ... an organized bullying group

I don't think they consider it bullying, but rather an act of justice against evil people. I disagree though.

> the rank irony is giving me a headache

That's because your "irony" is a malicious straw man. It's giving me a headache as well.

> All the crazy things that have happened in the last 6 months, and this is what has you up in arms. Women talking to each other, trying to protect themselves from assault and rape. Absolutely wild.

I am up in arms against what has happened in the last 6 months, or actually, way longer than that. I'm not up in arms against women talking to each other.

If anything, your reactionary views on justice and your barrage of omissions, diversions, and outright lies to make your point makes you much more closer to the people you're trying so hard to associate me with.
