Good, arrogant and slimy and powerful. He had a lot of support, but I’m glad it wasn’t enough. I’m still shocked how long he was able to drag this all out.

What a monster, what a privilege to see someone so gifted play.

I think at this point the defensiveness has eclipsed the original infraction. I think 4 years in prison is too much for kissing someone without their permission, but at this point throw the fucking book at this arsehole. If I grabbed and kissed a coworker, the bare minimum is I would be fired. I definitely wouldn’t be allowed to defend my sleaze in front of a bunch of applauding weirdos. This has been such a strange affair. I think the kiss is a relatively minor offence, but he’s shown that he thinks he has the right to grab and kiss his coworkers without any retribution, and he’s sort of being proven right so far, which is incredibly frustrating.

I never asked or expected you to apologise to me and your sarcasm is unwarranted. I engaged with you sincerely and in good faith.

It’s ok to disagree with you. Just walk away and don’t take criticism or differing opinions as insults. People clearly don’t feel as strongly as you do and that’s ok. Hell, drop the account and get a new one if it will help you leave baggage behind. Best wishes, friend. Make a corner of the internet your own and be open to being changed.
