> The organizers have given an apology to Sarkeesian for allowing a group that has dedicated itself to harassing her over the years

I've looked... is there any proof of this?

- phone calls from those people to Anita

- emails...

- twitter messages

- facebook messages...

If there are, I'll be happy to label them harassers. But until then... I have this weird idea that

the rule of law is more important than feelings

The vidcon people (among others) have made it clear that they will violate their own rules in order to "get" the bad people. People who, according to their own rules, have done nothing wrong.

Witch-hunts end up in one place, and only one place. The people who previously were accusers, on trial, for the same offenses.

So again, is there any reason to believe these accusations? If not, why do you believe them?

Edit Apparently asking for evidence was the wrong thing to do.
